Georgia Autumn

Winter comes slowly here. There is no reason

To bar the door too soon against the cold. IIer season mellows softly into season: Green into russet, russet into gold. Only the empty boll that nods and rustles

Over the clearing the opossum hustles

Only the Reluctant otr'ossum, and the amber that crowd the vines

Belie the honeysuckle's fragrant clamberThey and the dusky purple muscadines Are Winter's word, whispered withlazy breath. Here Summer sleeps-it never quite.knows death.

No Understanding

Thousands of channels there are through which the beauty of our soul may sail even unto our thoughts. Above all there is the wonderful, central channel of love. For is it not in love that are found the purest elements of beauty that we can ofrer to the soul? Some there are who do thus in beauty love each other. And to love thus means that, little by little, the sense of ugliness is lost; that one's eyes are closed to all the littleness of life, to all but the freshness and virginity of the very humblest of souls. Loving thus, we can no longer have anything to conceal, for that the ever-present soul transforms all things into beauty. It is to behold evil in so far only as it purifies indulgence, and teaches us no longer to confound the sinner with the sin.
