Autumn... Beautiful and mysterious season.
Ф. И. #Тютчев. "Есть в осени первоначальной..." - " There is a spell in autumn early"

***
Есть в осени первоначальной
Короткая, но дивная пора –
Весь день стоит как бы хрустальный,
И лучезарны вечера...
Где бодрый серп гулял и падал колос,
Теперь уж пусто всё – простор везде, –
Лишь паутины тонкий волос
Блестит на праздной борозде.
Пустеет воздух, птиц не слышно боле,
Но далеко еще до первых зимних бурь –
И льется чистая и теплая лазурь
На отдыхающее поле...

***
There is a spell in autumn early,
One all too brief, of an enchantment rare:
The nights are radiant and pearly,
The days, pellucid, crystal-clear.
Where played the sickle and fell the corn, a mellow,
A warm and breathless stillness reigns supreme;
Spanning the brown and idle furrow,
A dainty thread of cobweb gleams.
The birds have flown, we hear no more their clamour,
But winter's angry winds not soon will start to blow -
Upon the empty fields there pours the azure glow
Of skies that have not lost the warmth of summer.

Expression of the day:
В ти́хом о́муте че́рти во́дятся.(V tihom omute cherti vodiatsia) - Still waters run deep.
Literal: It's the still waters that are inhabited by devils.
