Nothing Gold Can Stay
| Submitter: | Michael Garrett |
| Description: | They say that autumn is a time to take stock, to look back on what has been achieved and brace oneself for the challenges yet to come. Whatever the case, it seems to me that the autumn colours of the forest here in Dwingeloo seem to have been particularly vibrant this year. The quilted image posted above tries to re-capture the essence of the fantastic scene that nature has laid out before us over the last few weeks here at ASTRON. Perhaps Robert Frost best expressed some of the feelings that a fine autumn day can invoke in his poem Nothing Gold Can Stay: Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost, New Hampshire collection (1923). |
