Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
–Albert Camus (1913 โ 1960)
Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.
–William Allingham (1824 โ 1889)
Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
–Elizabeth Bowen (1899 โ 1973)
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
–Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 โ 1822)
A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.
–Edward Estlin Cummings (1894 โ 1962)
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.
–Robert Browning (1812 โ 1889)
No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring.
–Samuel Johnson (1709 โ 1784)
Shuddering under the autumn stars, each year, the head sinks lower and lower.
–George Trakl (1887 โ 1914)
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
–Walter Scott (1771 โ 1832)
Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.
–Hal Borland (1900 โ 1978)

I love Hal Borland’s works – his book, “High Wide and Lonesome’ that chronicles his family’s time of homesteading in Colorado took place about 70 miles northeast of me – So much of what he described I knew about and yet other things, had been, by the time I read his work, long disappeared from the ‘conventional history’ taught of this area/time –
โค Tamrah Jo โค ~ that's really interesting – a slice of local history for you!
