November, n. The eleventh twelfth of a weariness."
~Ambrose Bierce
November
No sun... no moon!
No morn... no noon...
No dawn...
No sky... no earthly view
No distance looking blue
No road... no street... no t'other side way...
No end to any Row...
No indications where the Crescents go...
No top any steeple...
No recognitions of familiar people...
No courtesies for showing 'em...
No knowing 'em!
No traveling at all... no locomotion,
No inkling of the way... no notion...
No Go... by land or ocean...
No mail... no post...
No news from any foreign coast...
No park... no ring... afternoon gentility...
No company... no nobility...
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member...
No shade, no shine, butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!
~Thomas Hood
It's early November, and the Bay Area is really just getting started on it's Autumn lights. But the trees should be absolutely stunning the next few weeks with Gold, Crimson, Green, Purple and Brown.
In other words... November!
