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

“I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. 
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
–  Nathaniel Hawthorne

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns.”
–   George Eliot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Once more the liberal year laughs out
O’er richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature’s boldest triumph told.”
–   John Greenleaf Whittier
