Toamna

Autumn

Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.  ~George Eliot




                                                   Oh good gigantic smile 'o the brown old earth,
                                                   This autumn morning! - Robert Browning



The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past-there is harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-Shelly




Autumn nodding o'er the yellow plain
Comes jovial on - James  Thompson







I saw old Autumn in the misty morn - Thomas Hood








Deep inside, we're still the boys of autumn, that magic time of the year that once swept us onto America's fields.- Archie Manning








Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn fields,
and thinking of the days that are no more.
- Tennyson







How well I know what I mean to do
When the long dark autumn evenings come
- Robert Browning

This post is really very poetic. The photo goes so well with the quotes.

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.

- Keats
