  By: Francois August Rene de Chateaubriand, Vicomte de Chateaubriand
  Autumn Quotes
• "Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating; O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating; Winking at the blushing trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow; Smiling at the airy ease, Of the southward flying swallow Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden Autumn days."
  By: Will Carleton, Autumn Days

  Autumn Quotes
• "The mellow autumn came, and with it came The promised party, to enjoy its sweets. The corn is cut, the manor full of game; The pointer ranges, and the sportsman beats In russet jacket;--lynx-like is his aim; Full grows his bag, and wonderful his feats. An, nutbrown partridges! An, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants."
  By: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan (canto XIII, st. 75)

  Autumn Quotes
• "Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods, And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt, And night by night the monitory blast Wails in the key-hole, telling how it pass'd O'er empty fields, or upland solitudes, Or grim wide wave; and now the power is felt Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods Than any joy indulgent Summer dealt."
  By: William Allingham, Day and Night Songs--Autumnal Sonnet
  Autumn Quotes

  By: Sir Archibald Alison
