Contemplating autumn poem:
No sun — no moon!
No morn — no noon — No dawn no dusk no proper time of day. No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! — November!

Thomas Hood.

"It never weighed more than a spoonful of sugar. Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter. At night, its voice once filled the forest of Christmas Island. Now the forest is silent. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, is declared extinct"
