Essays, Art and Plays by Dan

If I were a bird, I would fly about the Earth seeking the successive autumns. – George Eliot

Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it. ~ Diana Gabaldon, Outlander

I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it. ~ Lee Maynard

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love—that makes life and nature harmonize. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. ~ George Eliot

Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. ~ Lauren DeStefano, Wither

Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar – Delia Owen’s

Never jump in a pile of leaves with a wet sucker – Linus, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers – L.M Montgomery

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face. — John Donne, The Autumnal Face
