Autumn

By rendering fitful as fitfull he refreshes a literary adjective: the wind is made more alive, somehow, by being fitfull – full of fits and starts. Similarly, as his eye favours the double l, his ear prefers the double s (gusts/shakes) even if it means disagreement between noun and verb

The changing color of leaves in autumn is primarily due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for the green color in leaves. As daylight decreases and temperatures drop, chlorophyll production slows, revealing other pigments such as carotenoids (which produce yellow and orange hues) and anthocyanins (which create red and purple tones). This process not only marks the transition of trees into dormancy but also serves to protect the leaves from damage and maximize nutrient recovery before they fall. Ultimately, the vibrant colors of autumn are a beautiful display of nature's adaptation to seasonal changes.
