By the lime you read this the
Canadian landscape may``" •be as.
bleak as the inside of a public
lavatory, but I can't resist .a pae-
an too the finest autumn in mem-
ory. The other day I was out for
a last;,lohg draught of that most
heady of brews --a perfect Octo-
ber day in the country= -and;, as
,usual, I . grew quite tipsy on it.,
Standing at• t1e top' of a high
hill, I could• see for miles' in ev-
ery direction. The ' •sight was
'enough t•o make :a poet weep at
the inadequacy of words, or a
painter • curse thea: scanty range
Of . his palette. It was one . of
,those blue and gold days, when
the world is still, and waiting.
High, .high; out ,of sight: and
sound, a couple .of .jet aircraft
drew their ` careful, chalk marks
across the sky. '"Far below' .was
that' eternal showoff the . Bay,
bluer thanever a' maiden's eyes,
broken only :by the islands,, like.:
many 'bonfires in ' their crimson
and yellow' . fla e.. And.-, back
from the water ' rolled the bril-
liant tapestry of the tail foliage,,,
the •green fields,and silver,
winding river.
