Famous quotes containing the words falling, autumn and/or leaves:

    The falling out of faithful friends, renewing is of love.
    Richard Edwards (c.1523–1566)

    In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
    Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
    He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
    The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
    Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
    His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
    Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
    And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
    And says their names, and leaves them where they are.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
