by this its mute
Appeal to sympathy for its decay.

sort of city even in spring.

will drop off like autumn leaves.

|
| 11 |
Deep inside, we're still the boys of autumn,

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.

Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring may boast her flowery prime,
Yet the vineyard's ruby treasures
Brighten Autumn's sob'rer
time.

Fall is my favorite
season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the
trees.

He types his laboured column --weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.

I prefer winter and fall,
when you feel the bone structure of the landscape -- the loneliness of
it -- the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it -- the whole
story doesn't show.

|
| 17 |
I saw old autumn in
the misty morn
Stand shadowless like silence, listening
To silence.

I trust in Nature for the stable laws
Of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant
And Autumn garner to the
end of time.
--Robert Browning

| 19 |
If a man . . . can paint a landscape, and convey
into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn;
it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it
to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
|
| 20 |
It was one of those perfect English autumnal
days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.

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

October. This is one
of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in. The others
are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December,
August, and February.

Our judgment ripens; our imagination decays. We cannot
at once enjoy the flowers of the Spring of life and the fruits of its Autumn.

Spring comes with flowers, autumn
with the moon, summer with the breeze, winter with snow. When idle concerns
don't fill your thoughts, that's your best season.
-- Wu-Men
|
| 25 |
Tears, idle tears,
I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair,
Rise in the heart and gather in the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn
fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
--Alfred, Lord Tennyson
|
| 26 |
The smile that flickers on baby's lips when he sleeps-
does anybody know where it was borne? Yes, there is a rumor that a young
pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn
cloud, and there the smile was first born . . . .
--Rabindranath Tagore
|
| 27 |
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

Union of the weakest develops strength
Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge
One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn?
But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow.
--Wallance Stevens

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will
vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.

an oil painting and
autumn a mosaic of them
all.

Youth is like spring, an over- praised season more
remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn
is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in
fruits.
--Samuel Butler
