Season of mists

My cycle to work the other morning really epitomised Keats’ “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness”.  The mist hanging over the river, lingered for much of the morning, an ethereal mystery hiding the ageless secrets of the water as it flowed to the sea.  It was a morning for magic, for sighting water nymphs and sprites wearing fragile garments woven from autumn leaves and spider silk. The glossy rose-hips, swollen from the rain and summer sunshine, glowed like rubies on their tangled briars.  Sadly, I was unable to loiter and remain in that enchanted woodland lit by an ephemeral sun.
