london in october

"Autumn goes wandering- wandering on her way

Down the mild slope that shortens day by day

Under these quiet skies.

-vanessa jackman.

Here as the green leaves fade, the gold leaves fall,

A still enchantment widens over all,

Painting the streets with vauge autumnal dyes

Like ancient tapestries;

-alexander mcqueen fall 2010.

(RIP)

Touching to fantasy unfelt before

The motley hoardings' many-coloured lore;

Seizing the sense with something subtler yet-

The deep exhilaration of regret

For this sweet hour that flies...

-venus in furs.

So strong the glamour of the London street,

With dim expectancies,

Holding the heart in bondage stormy and sweet...

-burberry prorsum fall 2010.

Lit with a million gems of living fire-

London, the goal of many a soul's desire!

Goddess and sphinx, thou hold'st us safe in thrall

Here while the dead leaves fall."

-venus in furs.

-Rosamund Marriott Watson.
