THEIR AUTUMN GLORY 



Autumn tints is a subject that belongs more to 

 the sphere of the artist than to that of the scientist; 

 the poet can sing their song more easily than a 

 writer of prose can describe their beauty; yet, equally 

 with all, ordinary folk can enjoy their splendour. 

 Let us then in autumn time lay aside for a brief 

 moment the cares of life; let us break away from en- 

 grossing tasks of every kind and linger for a while 

 among the trees and shrubs of the roadside and wood- 

 land, drink in cool draughts of fresh air, and revel 

 in the galaxy of colour that beneficent Nature so 

 lavishly displays on every side.
