Answer 1

The poem 'Autumn' is written by Kalidas. ... He has described Autumn in a very beautiful manner and compared it to a woman. My favourite lines are 'And on her face (the radiant moon) Bewitching smiles are shown: She seems a slender maid, who soon Will be a woman grown'. I like the poem because of its beautiful imagery.
