October In the Garden


Painting by Charles H. White



October in the Garden


Autumn in felted slipper shuffles on,
Muted yet fiery, - Autumn's character.
Brown as a monk yet flaring as a whore,
And in the distance blue as Raphael's robe
Tender around the Virgin.


Vita Sackville West

from The Garden, Autumn
