Maybe still an Indian summer

After a dreich start, the day has brightened up considerably. I've already taken one lot of bottles to the recycling station, and I'll be doing another lot soon.

And, yes, Karin, I would say that "Still, facing autumn" is good. I would also say that SH has a distinctive way of reading his own poetry. Much of the pleasure in reading his poems comes from the echo of having heard him read them himself. In fact, when I was reading the series based on the ten commandments (in the book, there is no heading to tell you what they are about), I had a strange sense of deja vu. I think that it was when I got to number six or seven that I realised that I had heard him recite these poems, some time previously, and the penny dropped.
