From "man was made to mourn"
But see him on the edge of life
with cares and sorrows torn,
then age and want - that ill matched pair
prove man was made to mourn.
So here I am unemployed in Finland and getting no money from Kela as yet. The season of mellow fruitfulness is closing in. The leaves of the lily of the valley flowers in the forest are turning yellow. The rose hips are turning red. Seeds are forming on flower-heads. Everything is ripening.
In England they will have harvest festivals in churches.
In Finland the summer-houses will be tidied up for the end of the season and the platforms will be pulled from the cooling water of the lakes. The rowing boats will be turned over and stored away for the winter. Everything is being packed up and stowed away.
