John Whittaker Watson was a 19th century poet and journalist from New York. The author of many serials, poems and short stories published in various magazines, today he is probably best known for his poem โBeautiful Snow.โ It is found in the collection of poems by the same title, published in Philadelphia in 1871.
This autumn we've had relatively warm weather with lots of sunny days, which made for some really pleasurable walks. In this post Iโll share just a sample of snapshots I took during the months of October and November in one of my favourite nature spots - the Bojฤin Forest near Belgrade.
In this instalment of my monthly listening tips, Iโd like to share a few podcasts and radio programmes on the subject of Norse mythology. If you donโt know much about it, some of them will serve as a good introduction to the topic, while others go deeper into very specific aspects of the Norse culture.
In this post weโll read a wonderful autumn-themed poem by one of my favourite authors, Sarah Orne Jewett. Describing the scenery surrounding her hometown of South Berwick, Maine, the poet paints the picture of beauty and richness of a sunny November day.
