I have seen this light before--

It's not really autumn yet, but there are hints of it all over. The wind is coming back after a long, quiet summer; we've had days of soft, steady rain without thunder or lightning; and in the evenings sometimes the light touches the leaves with gold. So, as my mind follows the mood of the season, things that I've read and enjoyed in the past have been coming to memory. Like the Chronicles of Narnia (which it's really been far too long since I read). Or like this poem, which Fa-So-La-La (over at the Beehive) wrote a couple of years ago. (Whence comes my post title, by the way.)

It was rather strange tonight. For once, midnight came around and I didn't still have homework to do. Last week I had my first exams--Humanities, Bible, and Speech--and I spent extra time doing review for those. None of them were as hard as I feared, but I'm glad to have them over with.

P.S. This week the Humanities class is starting to read Greek tragedies. First will be Prometheus Bound (Aeschylus) and then we'll be doing Oedipus Rex and Antigone.
