Autumn (T. E. Hulme)

I like the images in this poem by T. E. Hulme. (Also of note -- the great number of poems titled 'Autumn' on poets.org - why does no one use 'fall'??)

I haven't looked to see about the poet yet (who I've not heard of), but just from reading the poem I bet the poet is from many generations back. "With white faces like town children" - I mean, really? Only a socially tone deaf statement like that could equate things celestial with race. Dumb!

Anyways though, the images (well most of them) in this poem are pretty good. I love this one which is my favorite line today:

Favorite line: "And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge / Like a red-faced farmer"
