Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies. (Quote by - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
It was Autumn, and incessant Piped the quails from shocks and sheaves, And, like living coals, the apples Burned among the withering leaves. (Quote by - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Autumn wins you best by this, its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay. (Quote by - Robert Browning)
The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear. (Quote by - William Cullen Bryant)
Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. (Quote by - Elizabeth Lawrence)
Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating; O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating; Winking at the blushing trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow; Smiling at the airy ease, Of the southward flying swallow Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden Autumn days. (Quote by - Will Carleton)
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. (Quote by - Edwin Way Teale)

All those golden autumn days the sky was full of wings. Wings beating low over the blue water of Silver Lake, wings beating high in the blue air far above it . . . bearing them all away to the green fields in the South. (Quote by - Laura Ingalls Wilder)
What visionary tints the year puts on, When falling leaves falter through motionless air Or numbly cling and shiver to be gone! How shimmer the low flats and pastures bare, As with her nectar Hebe Autumn fills The bowl between me and those distant hills, And smiles and shakes abroad her misty, tremulous hair! (Quote by - James Russell Lowell)
The teeming Autumn big with rich increase, bearing the wanton burden of the prime like widowed wombs after their lords decease. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To silence, for no lonely bird would sing Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn, Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn;-- Shaking his languid locks all dewy bright With tangled gossamer that fell by night, Pearling his coronet of golden corn. (Quote by - Thomas Hood)
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-eaves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core. (Quote by - John Keats)
All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn. (Quote by - Robert Burns)
