It is also November. The noons are more laconic and the sundowns sterner, and Gibraltar lights make the village foreign. November always seemed to me the Norway of the year.
~ Emily Dickinson
(Letter to Elizabeth Chapin Holland, November 1865)
Autumn wins you best by this its mute
Appeal to sympathy for its decay!
~ Robert Browning
(Paracelsus)
You always impress me with your ability to match a thought-provoking poem with just the right picture! Love this!
Thank you so much, Lauren!
I especially liked the line, “November always seemed to me the Norway of the year.” I’m now thinking about which countries might seem like the other months.
I’ve got one! Because of the movie “Enchanted April” I might call April the Italy of the year. 🙂
We need mystics in November 🙂 Beautiful!
Indeed we do! Thank you, Tiny! 🙂
