by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

autumnal equinox
it's golden in the treetops it's golden in the sky, it's golden, golden, golden, september passing by.
it's so pretty, isn't it? i also reminded the girls of how we used to sing "the leaves are green" with their waldorf playgroup, so we sang that too :)
the leaves are green, the apples are red, they hang so high above your head, leave them alone until frosty weather and then they will all fall down together!
I love that you are reading Austen - I just finished Emma with my book club. Also, my children are listening to King of the Wind right now too! It is wonderful so far.
Dorina, this is so funny! I attended a playgroup of the Emerson Waldorf School in Chapel Hill, NC, with my two oldest (back in the days when I only had two children). One of the songs we sang often was "The leaves are green." We still do this one during our circle time and the two oldest ones still love it.

We sang this during circle time today!
