I like the image of THE LITURGIES OF AUTUMN. Autumn, however brief, is my favorite season, because the activities that have to be crammed into its brief span take on a ritual quality - any day can be the last day of autumn when BAM! it's winter. I also like the reference to Adam naming the animals. IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY in which a human being puts the finishing touches on creation. I wrote a rough poem on this subject - in the last section God acknowledges by naming things Adam has created the art of poetry!

There is lovely laziness about this poem, laid back contentment, written by a man who notices things.
