"I love fall! Fall is exciting. It's apples and cider. It's an airborne spider. It's pumpkins in bins. It's burrs on dog's chins. It's wind blowing leaves. It's chilly red knees. It's nuts on the ground. It's a crisp dry sound. It's green leaves turning And the smell of them burning. It's clouds in the sky. It's fall. That's why... I love fall." - Author Unknown
"Ah! the year is slowly dying, And the wind in tree-top sighing, Chant his requiem. Thick and fast the leaves are falling, High in air wild birds are calling, Nature's solemn hymn." - Mary Weston Fordham, Passing of the Old Year
"The autumn breeze rises on the shore at Fukiage-- and those white chrysanthemums are they flowers? or not? or only breakers on the beach?" - Sugawara Michizane
"A tangerine and russet cascade Of kaleidoscopic leaves Creates a tapestry of autumn magic Upon the emerald carpet of fading summer." - Judith A. Lindberg, Shades of Autumn
