Roath Park, Caerdydd. In the foreground is the memorial to the ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, lead by Scott. The expedition had set off from Caerdydd. The whole team died, including Welshman Edgar Evans, from Gower.

The photo shows a tall, white clock tower standing on a small platform in the middle of a calm lake. A blue door sits at the base of the tower, and a railing runs along the foreground. Trees and houses line the far shore under a lightly clouded sky.

#Remembrance:

“They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.”

Beautiful beech trees at Ashmore, near Shaftesbury
The image depicts a peaceful, tree-lined country lane during autumn. Tall trees with golden and green leaves arch over the narrow path, creating a tunnel-like effect. Fallen leaves cover parts of the ground, and sunlight filters through the branches, casting warm, dappled light. A wooden fence runs along the right side of the lane, while open fields can be seen through the trees on the left. The overall atmosphere is serene and picturesque.

“like a tree undressing”

‘The Bush’ - #RSThomas
(Later Poems, 1972–1982, Macmillan London)
Text of poem - The Bush. I know that bush, Moses; there are many of them in Wales in the autumn, braziers where the imagination warms itself. I have put off pride and, knowing the ground holy, lingered to wonder how it is that I do not burn and yet am consumed. And in this country of failure, the rain falling out of a black cloud in gold pieces there are none to gather, I have thought often of the fountain of my people that played beautifully here once in the sun's light like a tree undressing.

Grey Heron
#Llanishen #Caerdydd #Cymru
The image shows a grey heron standing at the edge of a body of water. The bird has a long neck, long legs, and a pointed beak, and it appears to be wading near the shore with some vegetation around its feet. The water surface is calm and grayish in color.

This colour image shows a wooden sculpture of a bear-like creature carved from a tree stump. The carving is detailed, featuring large eyes, a snout, and clawed feet. It stands outdoors in a natural setting surrounded by grass, trees, and sunlight, suggesting a park or woodland trail.

‘Especially When the October Wind’
#DylanThomas #October #Hydref
Text of poem - Especially When the October Wind. Especially when the October wind With frosty fingers punishes my hair, Caught by the crabbing sun I walk on fire And cast a shadow crab upon the land, By the sea's side, hearing the noise of birds, Hearing the raven cough in winter sticks, My busy heart who shudders as she talks Sheds the syllabic blood and drains her words. Shut, too, in a tower of words, I mark On the horizon walking like the trees The wordy shapes of women, and the rows Of the star-gestured children in the park. Some let me make you of the vowelled beeches, some or the oaken voices, from the roots Of many a thorny shire tell you notes, Some let me make you of the water's speeches. Behind a pot of ferns the wagging clock Tells me the hour's word, the neural meaning Flies on the shafted disk, declaims the morning And tells the windy weather in the cock. Some let me make you of the meadow's signs; The signal grass that tells me all I know Breaks with the wormy winter through the eye. Some let me tell you of the raven's sins. Especially when the October wind (Some let me make you of autumnal spells, The spider-tongued, and the loud hill of Wales) With fists of turnips punishes the land, Some let me make you of the heartless words. The heart is drained that, spelling in the scurry Of chemic blood, warned of the coming fury. By the sea's side hear the dark-vowelled birds. Dylan Thomas

‘A Day in Autumn’ - #RSThomas
(Poetry for Supper, Rupert Hart-Davis)
Text of poem - A Day in Autumn. It will not always be like this, The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening In the lawn's mirror. Having looked up From the day's chores, pause a minute, Let the mind take its photograph Of the bright scene, something to wear Against the heart in the long cold. - RS Thomas

The image shows a white swan gracefully gliding across calm, rippling water. The swan’s reflection is visible on the surface, and it leaves a gentle wake behind as it moves forward. The water has a silvery-blue tint with wavy reflections of light.
