Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon coeur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blęme, quand
Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure
Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
Deçŕ, delŕ,
Pareil ŕ la
Feuille morte.

called: Dark valley
nice photos; i love the sculptural qualities of trees.. this looks like a wonderful forest!

Lovely, Erika. It's funny the tricks your mind plays on you.... I was expecting a waterfall in Hungary when I opened this topic.... didn't even think of it meaning "autumn". Dark Valley looks lovely. Thanks. 8)

Thanks for the pictures and Jacques Prévert Erika !!

Not Jacques Prévert, Luc, but Paul Verlaine (1844-1896) :)

I see, you like it my pics ;D usually we take a walk at the weekend in a nerby forest. I need to feel the soft air and see the green. I would be more then unhappy in a real city
VERLAINE in Hungarian, like the sound of the autumn edge
ŐSZI CHANSON
Ősz húrja zsong,
jajong, busong
a tájon
s ont monoton
bút konokon
és fájón.
S én csüggeteg,
halvány beteg,
míg éjfél
kong, csak sirok,
s elém sok
tűnt kéj kél.
Óh, múlni már
ősz! hullni már
eresszél!
Mint holt avart,
mit felkavart
a rossz szél..

a Hungarian poem
AUTUMN DAYS.
Coloman Tóth.
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/IMG_6467.jpg)
These are the autumn days. The sunrise is less bright:
Far from their nests the birds have taken flight;
Happy is he who flies with friends held dear;
But sorrowful am I left lonely here —
All lonely here!
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/IMG_6483.jpg)
Restless, my room I traverse to and fro;
The silence hears my footsteps as I go,
Now dies the fire whose fagots once flamed free,
I watch it: ah, how it resembles me —
Resembles me!
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/IMG_6477.jpg)
My youth, alas, no longer doth remain;
I look around for solace — but in vain!
All ties that heretofore availed to bless
Are burst asunder all bonds of happiness —
Of happiness!
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/IMG_6479.jpg)
From out my casement gray, dull sky I see;
I ask of it, shall I yet happy be?
Cheerless and quiet falls the autumn rain,
And each drop seems to answer. “Not again —
Ne’er again!”

Lovely. Is the first a Dahlia?
-
They are chrysanthemums
dahlias not feel good here because the summer too dry here
-
Wow, taht is a very nice chrysanthemum. I would never have picked it as that..... it looks like one of the waterlily dahlia types. Very, very nice.
-
Beautiful photos - they cheered me up on another depressing wet afternoon.

In autumn
Janos Arany
Cool, melancholy autumn days;
Boredom enters, sits down with me,
A mournful, imprisoned bird, and stays.
My songs are cold and dumb as she.
What should I do? Lie down and read...?
Not Homer with his brilliant light,
I call on Ossian instead
Whose notes are fogged and faint with night.
Too much of pain in cloudless skies
In the sea’s smooth and smiling face,
On valleys where the sun must rise –
I’m not now fitted for such grace.
A blue veil masks the fountainhead
A gold barque skims the foam in flight –
I call on Ossian instead
Whose notes are fogged and faint with night.
Blue is the hill of Zeus, and oh
Here is a wondrous isle, all green
With boughs above and boughs below,
A shady grove, a forest scene,
A wave-tossed precious flower bed,
Great swathes of sheep billowing white –
I call on Ossian instead
Whose notes are fogged and faint with night.
Smoke crowns the wood and shrouds the hedge
As if to welcome me as guest.
Here heroes sup and roast and pledge
And round the campfire sing and jest,
Youth and maiden to lutesong tread
Drinking in nectar, their eyes bright.
I call on Ossian instead
Whose notes are fogged and faint with night.
Though bloody battles rage, for them
Freedom requires no sacrifice,
Nor tyranny nor chains condemn
Their nation in its paradise.
They have no laws there, happy breed –
Age-old custom preserves the right.
I call on Ossian instead
Whose notes are fogged and faint with night.
Sweet summer’s gone, it fades and falls –
Nature goes crawling to her death.
No more delights, no miracles,
The thunder fails, wind loses breath.
No nightingales, the swallow’s fled,
No song, no mirage left to fight,
I call on Ossian to shed
His faint, fogged notes across the night.
A uniform monotony;
The dawn is but a lighter eve,
No blue sky, no green shrubbery,
Heaven has nothing up its sleeve,
The sky will weep itself to bed
In slow dull tears none may requite.
I call on Ossian to shed
His faint, fogged notes across the night.
Oh come, amuse me, you who sing
The dying flame of glory, come.
My soul longs for the distant ring
Of clouded sky and muffled drum,
The fading wreath for those who bled,
The last the enemy could smite,
I call on Ossian to shed
His faint, fogged notes across the night.
The clouds, the moaning winds, the brake’s
Soft bristling, the long grass, the moor,
The lonely oak that longs and aches,
The wandering fires, the sea’s vague roar,
On such my hungry soul has fed,
Such feed my nation in her plight,
I call on Ossian to shed
His faint, fogged notes across the night.
The dead who in the dark have gone
To join heroic ancestors,
The souls of warriors, one by one,
Fall through the clouds like meteors
And call on thee: Why wake the dead?
Can Ossian’s blazing song ignite
cold fires, the long untenanted
camps of the Caledonian night?

(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/rzsazn.jpg) turn to winter ::)
-
Oh, dear, yes, your winter is arrived. :P
A beautiful photo, but what is the flower, please?
-
it is an "errant lambkin" Bergenia lost in time ::)
-
Wow! That was the only thing I could think of, but thought it could not be at this time.... poor little lambkin indeed!. Frozen, but lovely!
-
turn to winter ::)
this is the gamble of the late flower--maybe some extra seed if its lucky, maybe wasted effort if the cold comes sooner, but a bonus for us to see :)
-
Gorgeous photo!!! 35oC here today..... such a long way from snow. ;D ;)

(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i76/arykana/srga-17.jpg)

Winter trees
Agnes, Nemes Nagy
One ought to learn. The Winter Trees
Bound in their frosted silver sheaths.
Consolidated draperies.
One ought to comprehend the plane
where ice crystals begin to smoke
and where the trees drift into mist
like bodies into memories.
And the river behind the trees,
the wild fowl's silent, gliding wings,
the blind, opaquely white-blue night
where hooded objects stand around;
one has to perceive here the dark,
unspeakable deeds of the trees.
