“Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of
beginning, spring.”
Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s
“Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the day, from the
view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges,
and from repeating to herself some few of the thousand poetical descriptions
extant of autumn--that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the
mind of taste and tenderness--that season which has drawn from every poet
worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling.”
Jane Austen, Persuasion
“He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the
wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into
his dreams.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
