Abstract

In the Driftway
August 31, 1932 issue

Fall has come in New England. On Tuesday summer was in full bloom. Indolent breezes moved over meadows and up the hill. The voice of the crow was mild in the mild air. Except for one sprig of unmotivated red on a maple tree, the permanence of summer was indisputable. Woods and grass were greener than August usually finds them. The dusty light of midsummer was spread over hills at noon. Fall apples hung firm on their stems. At night the full white moon rose in a cherry tree close to the house. Fall roses that had come inconspicuously into bloom assumed a new importance and golden rod and purple milk weed, though they had been there before, seemed suddenly to crowd roadsides.
