The Season
Captions available
The idea
The first quatrain offers that time of year when yellow leaves, or none, or few, hang upon boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang. The scale is a year, and the image is a church stripped of its singers.
In practice
A year, and an emptied choir.
Where people slip
The scale here is a season.
