author: Ray Bradbury content: "For these beings, fall is the ever normal season, the only weather, there\ \ be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The\ \ grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head?\ \ The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The\ \ snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human\ \ storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth.\ \ In gusts they beetle-scurry, creep, thread, filter, motion, make all moons sullen,\ \ and surely cloud all clear-run waters. The spider-web hears them, trembles\u2014\ breaks. Such are the autumn people. Beware of them." id: 2960cd9e-0a99-47ab-8f4a-6fe44f83c4b2
