AUTUMN COLOURS #30
Of all the seasons, autumn offers the most to man and requires the least of him.
Hal Borland
AUTUMN COLOURS #28
Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees. Faith Baldwin, American Family
AUTUMN COLOUR #27
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 COLOURS #26
The human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given
to us by a bountiful Creator, and not until the shadows of death begin
to gather around the object that we love, do we see its worth and
beauty. Autumn is the dim shadow that clusters about the sweet, precious
things that God has created in the realm of nature. While it robs them
of life, it tears away the veil and reveals the golden gem of beauty and
sweetness. Beauty lurks in all the dim old aisles of nature, and we
discover it at last.

AUTUMN COLOURS #22
"Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow."
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow."

"Summer is already better, but the best is autumn. It
is mature, reasonable and serious, it glows moderately and not
frivolously...It cools down, clears up, makes you reasonable..."
Valentin, Finnish writer
AUTUMN COLOURS #20
"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and
color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and
distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see
the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to
the far horizon?"
Hal Borland
AUTUMN COLOURS #19
"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as
autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the
daylight hours in the open air."
Nathaniel Hawthorne
AUTUMN COLOURS #18
"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!"
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!"
Percy Bysshe Shelley
