A Book of the Seasons: September 2.

September 2. 

A writer is scribe.
The corn and the grass and the
atmosphere writing.

It is essential

always that we love to do

what we are doing.

September 2, 1851

Dense oval bunches
of arum berries startle
the walker in swamps.
September 2, 1853

Prepared for strange things

my expectation ripens

to discovery.

September 2, 1856

The air of late is

cooler, clearer, autumnal

now after the rain.
September 2, 1859

Now after the rain

the air of late is cooler,
clearer, autumnal.

A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality."
