"The woods are full of fairies;

the sea is full of fish"

the trees are full of golder leave;

let's make an autumn wish."

Author Anonymous

"Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold."

Author: A Children's Song of the 1880's

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 is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."

Albert Camus

falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly

John Bailey, Autumn

a haiku year, 2001

"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious

as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.

So I have spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air."

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 10th October 1842

(1804-1864)

American Novelist and Short Story Writer

Letter to Miss Lewis, 1st October 1841

George Eliot

"Is not this a true autumn day?
Just the still melancholy that I love —
       that makes life and nature harmonize.
The birds are consulting about their migrations,
     the trees are putting on the hectic
        or the pallid hues of decay,
           and begin to strew the ground,
              that one's very footsteps may not disturb
                 the repose of earth and air,
                    while they give us a scent
                        that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit...

...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, Letter to Miss Lewis, 1st October 1841

George Eliot (Pseudonym of Mary Anne or Marian Evans)

(1819-1841)

English Author

"Autumn burned brightly,

a running flame through the mountains,

a torch flung to the trees."

Faith Baldwin, American Family

(1893-1978)

Successful U.S. Author of romance and fiction,

published some 100 novels.

"The Falling Leaves," Under the Maples

John Burroughs

"The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more in our morning walk we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds or the rains out of these delicate textures while we slept."

"How beautifully the leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days! There are exceptions, of course. The leaves of most of the fruit-trees fade and wither and fall ingloriously. They bequeath their heritage of color to their fruit. Upon it they lavish the hues which other trees lavish upon their leaves...."

"But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer."

John Burroughs,
