The Autumn Collection
“Colors burst in wild explosions
Fiery, flaming shades of fall
All in accord with my pounding heart..
“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 
“I know the year is dying,
Soon the summer will be dead.
I can trace it in the flying
Of the black crows overhead;
I can hear it in the rustle
Of the dead leaves as I pass,
And the south wind’s plaintive sighing
Through the dry and withered grass.
Ah, ‘tis then I love to wander,
Wander idly and alone,
Listening to the solemn music
Of sweet nature’s undertone;
Wrapt in thoughts I cannot utter,
Dreams my tongue cannot express,
Dreams that match the autumn’s sadness
In their longing tenderness.”....Mortimer Crane Brown

“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
“Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow.”
“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
“The sweet calm sunshine of October, now
Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold
The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.”...William Cullen Bryant
