From October, by Robert Walser:
…you walk across
a meadow and then enter the forest,
which is so bright and sunny,
it makes you happy, and quiet
and louder and clearer thoughts
pass through your soul.
Isn’t something spirited, soulful
walking around in this peaceful realm?
I’ve always been calm in autumn,
believed in it, like a symbol of luck,
and looked up at the sky with extreme
joy and all around at life
that then seemed almost exalted…
