Three Fall Days, Three Ways
It's fall, a season in which the cold winds of change bring as much poetic inspiration as the warm days of summer. The weather is unpredictable from one day to the next. Three poets give voice the bluster and rain and gray that each descend in turn. Image detail from the Penguin Great Ideas edition of On Art and Life by John Ruskin.
