A Beautiful Fall

Yesterday was a rainy day but today is gorgeous!

I took this one right outside our house!

The House of Pride

A stately palace built of squared brick,

Which cunningly was without mordar laid,

Whose walls were high, but nothing strong, nor thick,

And golden foil all over them displayed,

That purest sky with brightness they dismayed.

High lifted up were many lofted towers,

And goodly galleries far overlaid,

Full of fair windows, and delightful bowers;

And on the top a dial told the timely hours.

It was a goodly heap for to behold,

And spake the praises of the workman's wit;

But full great pitty that so fair a mold

Did on so weak foundation ever sit:

For on a sandy hill, that still did flit,

And fall away, it mounted was full high ,

That every breath of heaven shaked it;

And all the hinder parts, that few could spy,

Were ruinous and old, but painted cunningly.

-Edmund Spenser
