The end

“The hills are in gray.

Someone will kick.

Someone will hold.

The year has grown old…..

An overcast day.

A sweet, sad day.

They’re leaving the stands.’’

— From “Fall Overcast,’’ by E.B. White (1899-1985), famed essayist, children’s book author and minor poet. He lived much of his life on a small farm on the Maine Coast.
