The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown...
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard."
[Give me the splendid silent sun]

The tints of autumn...a mighty flower garden blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, frost.
John Greenleaf WhittierTwo sounds of autumn are unmistakable...the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street...by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese.
Hal BorlandLeaves covered pavement like soggy cereal.
Patricia Cornwell...and so many orchards circled the village that on some crisp October afternoons the whole wold smelled like pie.
Alice HoffmanWith so many trees in the city, you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. This was the only truly sad time in Paris because it was unnatural. You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason.
In those days, though, the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

But you can't plead with autumn. No. The midnight wind stalked through the woods, hooted to frighten you, swept everything away for the approaching winter, whirled the leaves. ("The North")
Yevgeny ZamyatinThat's the crazy thing about lies. You start to fall for them, yourself.
Jodi PicoultOur fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.
