Listen

"Listen...

With faint dry sound,

Like steps of passing ghosts,

The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break free from the trees

And fall."

                                                      Adelaide Crapsey

Seasons

"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."

                                                                                               Henry David Thoreau

Frost

"Then summer fades and passes and October comes.  We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure."

                                                                                                        Thomas Wolfe
