Notes About The Poem

Autumn

Autumn

I looked up to see
the day receding from me
and it’s falling leaves.
            ***

Note:
   The 'Alyscamps' is an ancient Roman cemetery founded in the 4th century in Arles, France. Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and expressed his feelings about Japanese art in letters he wrote to his brother Theo and fellow artist Paul Gauguin.
