I truly love this time of year
Is it the angle of the sun
that makes it seem so intense
colors so deep and rich
shadow so long
the sky a darker shade of blue?

Forget not that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
for man ~ autumn is a time of harvest
of gathering together
for nature ~ it is a time of sowing
of scattering abroad
♦♦ Edwin Way Teale
the love of learning ~the sequestered nooks
... and all the sweet serenity of books
♦. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Wallflower, wallflower, won’t you dance with me?
I’m fallin’ in love with you.
♦♦ Bob Dylan
