I love each of the seasons, but – let’s face it – there’s something EXTRA gorgeous about autumn. It’s as though the entire world just shows off for a period of time. Especially the trees – they wear autumn (fall) especially well! The following are some of my favorite quotes about autumn or fall. These quotations, as far as I’m concerned, really sum up the beauty of this colorful season.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. – Albert Camus
Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; And only he who sees takes off his shoes; The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries. – Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Autumn carries more gold in its hand than all the other seasons. – Jim Bishop
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
Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting? – Vernon Duke
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained 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
I know the lands are lit, with all the autumn blaze of Goldenrod. – Helen Hunt Jackson
October’s poplars are flaming torches lighting the way to winter. – Nova S. Blair
Autumn’s the mellow time. – William Allingham
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eying the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying. – Langston Hughes
But I do feel a little teeny right now that I’m just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived. – Gordon Parks
October, here’s to you. Here’s to the heady aroma of the frost-kissed apples, the winey spell of ripened grapes, the wild-as-the-wind smell of hickory nuts and the nostalgic whiff of that first wood smoke. – Ken Weber
Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day. – Elizabeth Bowen
Autumn is a season followed immediately by looking forward to spring. – Doug Larson
In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November. – Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden
But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head … The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on. – Robert Finch
The goldenrod is yellow
The corn is turning brown
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
– Childrens song
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
September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt,
evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret.
– Alexander Theroux
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. – Robert Downing
We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away. – Zhuangzi
No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring. – Samuel Johnson
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster 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
September means…..
School,
Effort, and
Play.
Trying your best
Each hour of the day,
Making new friends,
Being good as you can
Exciting discoveries,
Reading books with a friend.
– Boni Fulgham
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
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
– Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow–follow, oh-oh
– Try to Remember, Lyrics by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt
Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over the garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker,
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers.
– Carl Sandburg, Under the Harvest Moon
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
