I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature

Fredrich Nietzsche

[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

He looked and smelt like Autumn’s very brother, his face being sunburnt to wheat-colour, his eyes blue as corn-flowers, his sleeves and leggings dyed with fruit-stains, his hands clammy with the sweet juice of apples, his hat sprinkled with pips, and everywhere about him the sweet atmosphere of cider which at its first return each season has such an indescribable fascination for those who have been born and bred among the orchards.

Thomas Hardy, The Woodlanders

She did not care for the company of humans, because they were small and bothersome. She just watched the birds in the trees and picked mushrooms in the forest. Her life with herself was complete and she felt little need to ever change it.

Hiromi Goto, Chorus of Mushrooms

“I love the autumn—that melancholy season that suits memories so well. When the trees have lost their leaves, when the sky at sunset still preserves the russet hue that fills with gold the withered grass, it is sweet to watch the final fading of the fires that until recently burnt within you.”

― Gustave Flaubert, Memoirs of a Madman and November

“autumn exists to remind us that things must end to begin again.”

No because Clarice Lispector said, “Who has not asked himself at some time or another: am I a monster or is this what it means to be human?” and Florence Welch said, “But you have to satisfy the monster. The monster has loved you for longer than anybody else.” and Ocean Vuong said, “and what I really wanted to say was that a monster isn’t such a terrible thing to be.” and Helga Floros said, “I want to ask you which monster scared you the most as a kid.” and Mary Shelley said, “When I looked around, I saw and heard of none like me. Was I then a monster?” and Fredrich Neitzche said, “Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?” but he also said, “Throw roses into the abyss and say; ‘here’s my thanks to the monster that didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.’” and Mark Manson said, “There are still monsters in the back of my mind, and there probably always will be, but they’re getting quieter now.”

“As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.”

"o love, you have tormented us, and robbed us. estranged us from all things and veiled yourself with autumn leaves."

Bittersweet October. the mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter

Carol Bishop Hipps, “October” In a Southern Garden

[mauniiie]

The season is late autumn. No wind is blowing, but the air carries a chill. The date is just about to change.

- Haruki Murakami, After dark

As imperceptibly as grief The summer lapsed away,-- Too imperceptible, at last, To seem like perfidy.

Emily Dickinson, As imperceptibly as grief
