Famous quotes containing the word autumn:

    How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
    Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
    That has expelled us and our images . . .
    The death of one god is the death of all.
    Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
    Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    For his bounty,
    There was no winter in’t; an autumn it was
    That grew the more by reaping.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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