Delmore Schwartz. The Dark and Falling Summer. From Selected Poems. Summer Knowledge. The rain was full of freshness/ and the fresh fragrance of darkening grapes,/ The rain was as the dark falling of hidden/ And fabulous grapes ripening, great blue thunderheads moving slowly,/ slowly blooming./ The dark air was possessed by the fragrance of freshness,/ By a scattered and confused profusion until/ After the tattering began, the pouring down came/ And plenitude descended, multitudinous:/ And everywhere was full of the pulsing of the loud and fallen dark.
