Of autumn leaves!--but worst of all
It is to watch the flower of spring
Faded in its fresh blossoming!”

An autumn that steals the flower from the flower peddler.Death is testimony of god’s love and mercy for man –
A promise made between autumn and spring.”

Spring into summer, summer into fall, —
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move.”

A fall of diamonds in our climate of extremes”

Now Autumn bears a cloud brow
The flowers of Spring are swept way
And Summer fruits desert the bough”

from Autumn

“Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower.”

Albert Camus (1913–1960) French author and journalist

As quoted in Visions from Earth (2004) by James R. Miller, p. 126

“The winter will be short, the summer long,
The autumn amber-hued, sunny and hot,
Tasting of cider and of scuppernong;
All seasons sweet, but autumn best of all.
The squirrels in their silver fur will fall
Like falling leaves, like fruit, before your shot.”
