ANIMALS
IN
FALL 2!
After the leaves have fallen, we return
To a plain sense of things...
It is difficult even to choose the adjective
For this blank cold, this sadness without cause...
~Wallace Stevens
It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day;
The sky was clear and serene,
And nature wore that rich and golden livery
Which we always associate with the idea of abundance.
The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow,
While some trees of the tenderer kind
Had been nipped by the frosts
Into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.
As Ichabod jogged slowly on his way,
His eye ranged with delight
Over the treasures of jolly autumn.
~Washington Irving, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day!
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree...
~Emily Bronte
Autumn is a second spring
When every leaf is a flower.
~Albert Camus
Autumn mornings:
Sunshine and crisp air,
Birds and calmness,
Year's end and day's beginnings.
~Terri Guillemets
Autumn is the hush before winter.
~French Proverb
For man, autumn is a time of harvest,
of gathering together.
For nature, it is a time of sowing,
of scattering abroad.
~Edwin Way Teale, Autumn Across America
When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
~B. Cybrill
Wild is the music of autumnal winds
Amongst the faded woods.
~William Wordsworth
Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills,
propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the artist.
~Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo video game)
Love the trees until their leaves fall off,
Then encourage them to try again next year.
~Chad Sugg
Autumn bowed to place a beautiful crown
On the Queen of Morning,
And her velvet robes sway merrily
In the chilly breeze.
~Terri Guillemets
O' pumpkin pie, your time has come 'round again
And I am autumnrifically happy!
~Terri Guillemets
Lady Autumn, Queen of the Harvest,
I have seen You in the setting Sun
with Your long auburn tresses...
You sit upon Your throne and watch
the dying fires of the setting Sun
shine forth its final colors in the sky.
Lady Autumn, You are here at last.
~Deirdre Akins
October's the month when the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins, leaves sailing down
October is red and golden and brown.
~ Author Unknown
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
