Autumn's the mellow time.

—William Allingham

time autumn mellowness

That time of year thou may'st in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,-
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills, propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the artist.

—William Shakespeare

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.

—Rose G. Kingsley

There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!

—Percy Bysshe Shelley
