  Autumn Quotes
• "How are the veins of thee, Autumn, laden. Umbered juices, And pulped oozes Pappy out of the cherry-bruises, Froth the veins of thee, wild, wild maiden. With hair that musters In globed clusters, In trumbling clusters, like swarthy grapes, Round thy brow and thine ears o'ershaden; With the burning darkness of eyes like pansies, Like velvet pansies Where through escapes The splendid might of thy conflagrate fancies; With robe gold-tawny not hiding the shapes Of the feet whereunto it falleth down, Thy naked feet unsandalled; With robe gold-tawny that does not veil Feet where the red Is meshed in the brown, Like a rubied sun in a Venice-sail."
  By: Francis Thompson, A Corymbus for Autumn (st. 2)

  Autumn Quotes
• "Then came the autumne, all in yellow clad, As though he joy'd in his plenteous store, Laden with fruits that made him laugh, full glad That he had banished hunger, which tofore Had by the belly oft him pinched sore; Upon his head a wreath that was enrol'd With ears of corne of every sort, he bore, And in his hand a sickle did he holde, To reape the ripened fruit the which the earth had yold."
  By: Edmund Spenser
  Autumn Quotes
• "The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing, The bare boughs are sighing, the pale flowers are dying; And the year On the earth her deathbed, in a shroud of leaves dead, Is lying. Come months, come away, From November to May, In your saddest array; Follow the bier Of the dead cold year, And like dim shadows watch by her sepulchre."
  By: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Autumn--A Dirge
