Famous quotes containing the words autumn and/or fair:
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““He neither shall be christened
In white wine or red,
But with fair spring water,
With which we were christenèd.””
—Unknown. As Joseph Was a-Walking (l. 17–20)
