It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.
Washington Irving
Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay.
Robert Browning
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
Stanley Horowitz
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
John Muir
The wind blows out, the bubble dies; The spring entomb'd in autumn lies; The dew dries up; the star is shot; The flight is past, and man forgot.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
For man, autumn is a time of harvest,of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
Edwin Way Tea
Wild is the music of autumnal winds the faded woods.
William Wordsworth
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
Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.
William Cullen Bryant
Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.
Jim Bishop
Are ye the ghosts of fallen leaves, O flakes of snow, For which, through naked trees, the winds A-mourning go?
John Banister Tabb
Gather leaves and grasses, Love, to-day; For the Autumn passes Soon away. Chilling winds are blowing. It will soon be snowing.
John Henry Boner
Days decrease, And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
Robert Browning
You must go back with me to the autumn of 1827.
Anne Bront
