Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
- Albert Camus
Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds – November!
- Thomas Hood
Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay.
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 saw old autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To silence.
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.
The spring, the summer, the chill autumn, angry winter, change their wonted liveries.
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
- John Donne
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
- Stanley
Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.
If you do not sow in the spring you will not reap in the autumn.
Summer makes me drowsy. Autumn makes me sing. Winter’s pretty lousy, but I hate Spring.
The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.
