"October Vagabonds" by Richard Le Gallienne is a collection of poetic reflections and observations written during the early 20th century. The book captures the essence of nature and the transition from summer to autumn as experienced by the narrator and his companion Colin, who seek solace and meaning in the quiet beauty of their surroundings. Through a series of thematic essays, the author explores themes of solitude, friendship, artistry, and the deep connection between humans and nature, evoking a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the simpler pleasures of life. The opening portion of "October Vagabonds" introduces the reader to the end of a summer adventure through the eyes of its narrator, who feels the sadness of seasonal change as he retrieves a notice of the last baseball match of the summer from a gatepost. This imagery sets the tone for the book, blending elements of melancholy and beauty. As the narrator makes his way to their log cabin in the woods, he reflects on the fleeting nature of summer, acknowledging its warm presence as Colin busily prepares their evening meal. The exchange of wistfulness between the characters establishes their bond and appreciation for the natural world surrounding them, setting the stage for their exploration of the land and the adventures that lie ahead as they prepare to embark on a walk to New York.
