SeptemberIt seems these luminous days
will never end.
The city,which was almost empty during August,
now is filling up again.
It isbeing replenished.
The restaurantsare all reopening, the shops.
People are coming backfrom the country, the sea,
from trips on roadsall jammmed with cars.

"A Sport and a Pastime"

Loree,
I enjoyed August here, with most tourists and even Viennese gone. ;-)
There is, indeed, a charmed feeling to these end of summer days -- golden, luminous, and still.
