Leaves Fell by Juhan Liiv
By employing calm, dreamy images of the falling leaves, Juhan Liiv creates a majestic setting in the poem, "Leaves Fell," while the world in contrast, impotently embraces the return of autumn. As if the universe is mourning the last days of summer, the depressed "ash-gray" waves and "tin gray" skies are saying their farewells to their favorite season and are hesitantly welcoming the intruding season, autumn. The world does not know what will come with autumn and so chaos breaks out. To reassure that nothing bad will happen in the months to come the hectic waves and dreary skies are left to witness "autumn and autumn befriend each other." The mysterious season autumn, causes "leaves [to blow] in the water," and "winds [to bring in] cooler air," emphasizing the uncertainties of change that anyone can feel.
