It’s fall! At least according to the calendar. But since your midterm recess just ended and you have to the stifling humidity and heat of Houston, here are some literary quotes about autumn to hopefully get you in that fall spirit. Even if it is still 90 degrees outside.
“November — with uncanny witchery in its changed trees. With murky red sunsets flaming in smoky crimson behind the westering hills. With dear days when the austere woods were beautiful and gracious in a dignified serenity of folded hands and closed eyes — days full of a fine, pale sunshine that sifted through the late, leafless gold of the juniper-trees and glimmered among the grey beeches, lighting up evergreen banks of moss and washing the colonnades of the pines.” -L.M Montgomery, The Blue Castle "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -Albert Camus “There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves.” -Joe L. Wheeler “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 “I was drinking in the surroundings: air so crisp you could snap it with your fingers and greens in every lush shade imaginable offset by autumnal flashes of red and yellow.” -Wendy Delsol, Stork “It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” -Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost “Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile." -John Howard Bryant, Indian Summer Hopefully these quotes have put you into an autumnal bliss. Just make sure you don’t walk outside. Quotes amassed from Bustle.com, The Odyssey Online, Goodreads.com, and my brain. Written by Joshua A.
