{There is a spell in autumn early,
One all too brief, of an enchantment rare:
The nights are radiant and pearly,
The days, pellucid, crystal-clear.
Where played the sickle and fell the corn, a mellow,
A warm and breathless stillness reigns supreme;
Spanning the brown and idle furrow,
A dainty thread of cobweb gleams.
The birds have flown, we hear no more their clamour,
But winter's angry winds not soon will start to blow -
Upon the empty fields there pours the azure glow
Of skies that have not lost the warmth of summer.
Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev}
Translation of the lines in the image:
Upon the mysterious world of spirits
Over the nameless abyss, a shroud of golden cloth
Has been cast by the lofty will of the gods.
Day is this glistering cover --
Day, the enlivening force of earthly beings,
The healing power for the aching soul,
The friend of men and gods.
But day darkens -- night has fallen;
It has come -- and from the fatal world it casts away;
Having torn off, the beneficent cloth of the shroud . . .
And the abyss is laid bare to us
With its horrors and vapors,
And there are no barriers between it and us --
That is why night is terrifying to us. ~ Page 87
