SHANGRALA'S
ANIMALS
IN
FALL!
Fall has arrived.
Behold the changing leaves,
And enjoy the crisp breeze.
Let your eyes take in the bursts of color.
Transformation is afoot and hope is in the air...
"Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree."
~Emily Bronte
"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
Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things.
I don't feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.
~Marilyn Monroe
My sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.
~Robert Frost
Summer ends, and Autumn comes,
And he who would have it otherwise
Would have high tide always
And a full moon every night.
~Hal Borland
No man can taste the fruits of autumn
While he is delighting his scent
With the flowers of spring.
~Samuel Johnson
Autumn wins you best
By this its mute appeal
To sympathy for its decay.
~Robert Browning
Besides the autumn poets sing, a few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow and that side of the haze...
Grand me, O Lord, a sunny mind, Thy windy will to bear!
~Emily Dickinson, "November"
October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came,
The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples, and leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet, and every thing was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing; Professor Wind, the band...
The sight was like a rainbow New-fallen from the sky...
~George Cooper, "October's Party"
Autumn burned brightly,
A running flame through the mountains,
A torch flung to the trees.
~Faith Baldwin, American Family
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low...
~Van Morrison
Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow with a mystical spendour
That rivals the brightness of spring,
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair summer could bring...
~Emeline B. Smith, "Indian Summer"
The harvest moon hangs round and high
It dodges clouds high in the sky,
The stars wink down their love and mirth
The Autumn season is giving birth.
Oh, it must be October...
~Pearl N. Sorrels
The world is tired, the year is old,
The faded leaves are glad to die...
~Sara Teasdale, "November"
There's a great joy in my giving.
It's thrilling. It's exhilarating.
It's important to be a part of sharing.
It is my love. It is my joy.
~ W. Clement Stone
