"Autumn"

In college, I did a series of photographs for a photo essay on winter. I found a poem to go with the pictures in a layout in the college newspaper, and I remember the first stanza to this day.  There are three other stanzas as well, if you want to look it up.

Autumn by Roy Campbell (1901-1957) 

 I love to see, when leaves depart,
 The clear anatomy arrive,
 Winter, the paragon of art,
 That kills all forms of life and feeling
 Save what is pure and will survive."
