Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. ~ Robert BrowningWinter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. ~ Stanley HorowitzAll the night's magic seems to whisper and hush ~ Van MorrisonOn the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels. ~ Charles DickensNow Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods. And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt. ~ William AllinghamA few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air. ~ Eric SloaneThey are busy all day, giving shade and support and shelter and food to all. Only when night falls can they find rest for themselves, and then, under quiet dark skies, the spirits that live in them are revealed. ~ Durga Bail(aleaffalls)oneliness~ e.e. cummingsAutumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.~ Emily BronteBut I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees. ~ C.S. Lewisfalling leaveshide the pathso quietly~ John Bailey
