Why is summer mist romantic and autumn mist just sad? ↗

— Dodie Smith

#mist #summer #romantic

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason. ↗

And it's impossible to say and even harder to feel. ↗

Finny never tells anyone how he is feeling; you just have to know him well enough to understand when he is sad or scared. Today his expression does not tell me how he feels about me being over here. Either he couldn't care less, or he could be annoyed. ↗

Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. ↗

In spring they lie flat at the first warmth, they ruin my summer and in autumn they smell of women. ↗

The smell of burning firewood and the molding of organic, earthy substances reminded her of jumping wildly into the enormous leaf piles of autumns past and she suddenly wished that it was appropriate for someone her age to do such a thing. ↗

My visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome. ↗

Perhaps because it seems so appropriate, I don't notice the rain. It falls in sheets, a blanket of silvery thread rushing to the hard almost-winter ground. Still, I stand without moving at the side of the coffin. ↗
