In the US, at least, Autumn doesn't begin until the equinox...That's on the 22nd of September this year.

@Catija ah!
Poem of the Day
> You walk unaware
Of the slender gazelle
That moves as you move
And is one with the limbs
That you have.

You live unaware
Of the faint, the unearthly
Echo of hooves
That within your white streams
Of clear clay that I love
>
Are in flight as you turn,
As you stand, as you move,
As you sleep, for the slender
Gazelle never rests
In your ivory grove.
(Mervyn Peake)

Hi, Can somebody help me ? Can I use Perfect Gerund as a subject: Having read about a problem helps you overcome it.

@snailplane Thanks for the explanation.
@Catija Same here, from 23 Sep to 21 Dec.
In NZ it begins in March, I think. (:

@EngFan What part are you having trouble understanding?
@AlexanderMadyuskin Yes.
I don't know if you want the perfect gerund there, but whatever.

@EngFan I don't think it has any special meaning apart from the literal one, but it might be indicative of a certain state/emotion.

@Student I'm okay.
Damkerng suddenly disappeared in May
We don't know how he is, since we don't have his real-life address

> If the analytical system failed the suitability check, then either the mass-spectrometry unit was subjected to repeat calibration or maintenance operations were initiated.
Does maintenance differ much from servicing?
The Russian original says servicing works were initiated
But I like maintenance more.

"Corpses of your own making deliquesce behind you as you reach the cave, abandoned city, safe, sliding panel, hole in the ground, and rich beyond your wildest dreams! " What I don't understand is what "rich " belongs to. @CowperKettle.

@V.V. No idea
The whole sentence seems absurd
Looks like a specimen of modern "poetry"
English poetry died by 1950
It smelled funny in the 1920s already

@V.V. I think it's like a dungeons & dragons quest - you battle the monsters/bad guys to get to the cave, find an abandoned city, find a hole beneath a sliding panel that holds a treasure.

@ColleenV Sounds good to me... and seriously, who even knows "deliquesce" that's a $100 word.
