The soul of Autumn...

"I'm going home the old way, with a light hand on the reins making the long approach." ~Maxine Kumin
"The air is a cool as an old coin teaspoon & a faint tang of blue woodsmoke spices the wind." ~Gladys Taber
"My favorite word is 'pumpkin.' You are a pumpkin. Or you are not. I am.
~H. Salisbury
"Give me the splendid silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling, give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard." ~Walt Whitman
"If a man watches more than 3 football games in a row he should be declared legally dead." ~Erma Bomback
"The heart of Autumn must have broken here, and poured its treasure out upon the leaves." ~Charlotte Fiske Bates
