ALITUM The autumn oak traces a rich bronze Onto the blue. At its feet chrysanthemums nod. The air is cool, pure and winelike. All the world is crisp and deepwdyed. It is the brave beauty of the year Parading into death. When the ghosts of those bronze leaves Swirl into the howling sky. But death is to the unwise: Earth knows that winter is the womb of spring. The wistful soul of man knows no final winter When the trees are black . . . When ice-fingered wind rakes thebrown brush Behold a Woman crowned with December stars The human Immaculate! Totally beautiful! Utterly terrible! Quickened with the ancient Hope. The Redeemer! The Godly One! The Root of Jesse! Emmanuel!
