AUTUMN QUOTES

quotations about Autumn

No Spring, nor Summer beauty hath such grace,
As I have seen in one Autumnal face.

JOHN DONNE, The Autumnal

I want to go south, where there is no autumn, where the cold doesn't crouch over one like a snow leopard waiting to pounce.

D.H. LAWRENCE, letter to John Middleton Murry, Oct. 3, 1924

In the season of white wild roses
We two went hand in hand:
But now in the ruddy autumn
Together already we stand.

FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE, A Song of Spring and Autumn

I love the chill October days, when the brown leaves lie thick and sodden underneath your feet ... the evenings in late autumn time, when the white mist creeps across the fields, making it seem as though old Earth, feeling the night air cold to its poor bones, were drawing ghostly bedclothes round its withered limbs.

JEROME K. JEROME, "Silhouettes"

The autumn comes, a maiden fair
In slenderness and grace,
With nodding rice-stems in her hair
And lilies in her face.
In flowers of grasses she is clad;
And as she moves along,
Birds greet her with their cooing glad
Like bracelets' tinkling song.

KALIDASA, "Autumn"

Spring is beautiful, and summer is perfect for vacations, but autumn brings a longing to get away from the unreal things of life, out into the forest at night with a campfire and the rustling leaves.

MARGARET ELIZABETH SANGSTER, "The Gypsy Spirit"

O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stain'd
With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit
Beneath my shady roof, there thou mayest rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe,
And all the daughters of the year shall dance!
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.

WILLIAM BLAKE, "To Autumn"

Autumn is a hint from God to Old Age.

AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought
