Yancey House in Autumn
"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 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

"The leaves fall, the wind blows,
and the farm country
slowly changes from the summer cottons
into its winter wools."
- Henry Beston, Northern Farm

 

 



"Autumn is a second spring when
every leaf's a flower. "
--Albert Camus

 

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor,
summer an oil painting and
autumn a mosaic of them all. "
--Stanley Horowitz

"Autumn is the mellower season,
and what we lose in flowers
we more than gain in fruits."
- Samuel Butler

 

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."
- Eric Sloane
