Autumn wins you best by this its mute
Appeal to sympathy for its decay.
Robert Browning
Sad; so sad, those smoky-rose, smoky-mauve evenings of late Autumn, sad enough to pierce the heart. Angela Carter
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life. P D James
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
There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre 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
Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile. William Cullen Bryant
How strange and awful is the synthesis of life and death in the gusty winds and falling leaves of an autumnal day! Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods
And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.
William Allingham
Autumn’s the mellow time. William Allingham
