Four Eyes Forum: Autumn Begins

Welcome to Four Eyes Forum, a meeting place to exchange news and views on food, food photography, the word on food, food science, style and architecture. Join me, the blogger who wears glasses, in this world as I throw out engaging stuff that I think you'll find interesting, beautiful and delicious. As Charles Dudley Warner, American editor and writer, said,

"Lettuce, like conversation, requires a good deal

of oil, to avoid friction, and keep the company

smooth....You can put anything, and the more

things the better, into salad, as into a conver-

sation, but everything depends upon the skill of

mixing."

That's my job.

Autumn Begins

Autumn begins today. And with it, a new atmospheric light. From the hard edge, the glare, of July and August to a softer, more saturated solar arc. The poets put it best.

God's World

O World, I cannot hold thee close enough!

Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!

Thy mists, that roll and rise!

Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag

And all but cry with color! That gaunt crag

To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!

World, world, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all.

But never knew I this;

Here such a passion is

As stretcheth me apart,--Lord, I do fear
