Quotations for autumn

The year's last, loveliest smile. [ Bryant ]

Of fair things the autumn is fair. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

The withered frame, the ruined mind.
The wreck by passion left behind,
A shrivelled scroll, a scattered leaf,
Seared by the autumn blast of grief! [ Byron ]

Autumn is the harvest of greedy death. [ Juvenal ]

I know the lands are lit
With all the autumn blaze of Goldenrod. [ Helen Hunt Jackson ]

No autumn fruit without spring blossoms. [ Proverb ]

Her hair is bound with myrtle leaves,
(Green leaves upon her golden hair!),
Green grasses through the yellow sheaves
Of autumn corn are not more fair. [ Oscar Wilde ]

The Indian summer - the dead summer's soul! [ Mary Clemmer ]

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart and gather in the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more. [ Alfred Tennyson ]

Ye flowers that droop forsaken by the spring;
Ye birds that left by summer cease to sing;
Yet trees that fade when autumn heats remove.
Say, is not absence death to those who love? [ Pope ]

Of no distemper, of no blast he died
But fell like autumn fruit that mellow'd long. [ Dryden ]

Wild is the music of autumnal winds amongst the faded woods. [ Wordsworth ]

Autumn, in his leafless bowers, is waiting for the winter's snow. [ Whittier ]

When dark December glooms the day, and takes our autumn joys away. [ Sir Walter Scott ]

When bounteous autumn rears her head, he joys to pull the ripened pear. [ Dryden ]

The windflower and the violet, they perished long ago.
And the brier-rose and the orchis died amid the summer glow;
But on the hills the golden-rod, and the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven, as falls the plague on men.
And the brightness of their smile was gone, from upland glade and glen. [ Bryant ]

On her cheek blushes the richness of an autumn sky with ever-shifting beauty. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

On this side and on that, men see their friends drop off like leaves in autumn. [ Blair ]

Fade, flowers, fade! Nature will have it so; 'tis but what we in our autumn do. [ Waller ]

When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away. [ Sarah Helen Whitman ]

For his bounty, there was no winter in it; an autumn it was that grew the more by reaping. [ William Shakespeare ]

When men once reach their autumn, sickly joys fall off apace, as yellow leaves from trees. [ Young ]

A summer friendship, whose flattering leaves, that shadowed us in our prosperity, with the least gust drop off in the autumn of adversity. [ Massinger ]

A human heart can never grow old, if it takes a lively interest in the pairing of birds, the reproduction of flowers, and the changing tints of autumn leaves. [ Mrs. L. M. Child ]

A woman's life can be divided thus: the age when she dances but does not dare to waltz - it is the spring; the age when she dances and dares to waltz - it is summer; the age when she dances but prefers to waltz - it is autumn; finally, when she dances no longer - it is winter, that rigorous winter of life. [ Mme. de Girardin ]

The friendship of the world is like the leaves falling from their trees in autumn; while the sap of maintenance lasts, friends swarm in abundance; but in the winter of our need, they leave us naked. He is a happy man that hath a true friend at his need; but he is more truly happy that hath no need of a friend. [ Arthur Warwick ]

Association is the delight of the heart not less than of poetry. Alison observes that an autumn sunset, with its crimson clouds, glimmering trunks of trees, and wavering tints upon the grass, seems scarcely capable of embellishment. But if in this calm and beautiful glow the chime of a distant bell steal over the fields, the bosom heaves with the sensation that Dante so tenderly describes. [ Willmott ]
