Late Autumn

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or autumn:

“What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?... Carlyle alone, since the death of Coleridge, has kept the promise of England. It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In the autumn brilliance
feathers tingle at fingertips.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
