Autumn Forest
Manage episode 381264210 series 2800955
I am not sure if it is just me, but so far autumn doesn’t feel quite so ‘autumny’ as it usually does. Therefore, I think that it is a perfect time to savour a reading from one of my most favourite childhood books, Brendon Chase by BB.
Journal entry:
26th October, Thursday.
“Darkness.
Mizzle transforms the water
Into star-fields of pinpricks of light.
Evanescent.
Like walking
Through the tangle
Of watery
Spiders’ webs.
A dance of tiny droplets
In the torchlight’s beam.
Cloud-walking
Beside the canal.”
Episode Information:
In this episode I read an extract from BB’s (1944) wonderful Brendon Chase republished in 2016 by Puffin Books.
I also refer to Miles Hadfield’s An English Almanac (1950) published by Dent and Sons.
