Autumn
Autumn has the Doctor settling down in an English village to play cricket while Nyssa tries her hand at writing a novel. Instead, she catches the attention of a local boy who pesters her about her unwritten book. Uneasily, Nyssa falls in love, and contemplates life on Earth, left behind by the Doctor, where she will age and face her own Autumn.

Famous quotes containing the word autumn:
“Now it is autumn and the falling fruit
and the long journey towards oblivion.
The apples falling like great drops of dew
to bruise themselves an exit from themselves.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“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)
“It is enough
To smell, to crumble the dark earth,
While the robin sings over again
Sad songs of Autumn mirth.”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
