Comment: Very traditional sonnet.   BALDWYN, Augusta (b. 1821?-1884): "Summer-Evening" IN: Dewart, 259-260. Comment: Landscape and religion. Landscape reminds persona of God. This notion seems to be wide-spread in 19th-century landscape poems.   BAUER, Walter (b. 1904-1976): "Canada" IN: Litteljohn & Pearce, 221. Comment: A kind of keynote poem: "This earth says:/ I was here long before you and the likes of you came;/ Unmolested I conversed with wind and rivers"   BEISSEL, Henry (b. 1929): "Quintala" IN: Colombo (1978), 190.

Comment: Baseness and horror of landscape. One does not feel at home there. Can this be considered to be an archetypal poem representing the garrison syndrome?   "David" IN: Atwood, 108-113.

A sense of violence (see stanza 3).   "North of Superior" (1966) IN: Daymond & Monkman, II, 150-152.

Worth contrasting with other 'Indian summer' poems.   BOWERING, Marilyn (b. 1949): "Part Winter" IN: Norris, 34. Comment: Ambiguous stance.
