George Eliot Quote: Autumn
“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.”
~ George Eliot
Rainbow Rowell Quote: October
“October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!”
~ Rainbow Rowell
Edwin Way Teale Quote: Autumn
“For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.”
~ Edwin Way Teale
Mother Earth ~ Mitchell Burgess
“If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.”
~ Mitchell Burgess
Autumn Day
“It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it.”
~ Diana Gabaldon
Poem: Autumn ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
“In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall!”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
