AOGG (1985/87)＋Autumnal scenery

‘It was October again when Anne was ready to go back to school - a glorious October, all red and gold, with mellow mornings when the valleys were filled with delicate mists as if the spirit of autumn had poured them in for the sun to drain - amethyst, pearl, silver, rose, and smoke blue. The dews were so heavy that the fields glistened like cloth of silver and there were such heaps of rustling leaves in the hollows of many stemmed woods to run crisply through. The Birch Path was a canopy of yellow and the ferns were sear and brown all along it.’

Der Himmel über Berlin

dir. Wim Wenders

When dressed, I sat a long time by the window, looking out over the silent grounds and silvered fields, and waiting for I knew not what.
