“With the ripening of the fruits in Autumn”
Source: De architectura (The Ten Books On Architecture) (~ 15BC), Book II, Chapter IX, Sec. 2
Context: With the ripening of the fruits in Autumn the leaves begin to wither and the trees, taking up their sap from the earth through the roots, recover themselves and are restored to their former solid texture. But the strong air of winter compresses and solidifies them.
Napoleon : In His Own Words (1916)
“And in his hand a sickle he did holde,
To reape the ripened fruits the which the earth had yold.”
