Red October

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or october:

“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;

The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The autumnal change of our woods has not yet made a deep impression on our own literature yet. October has hardly tinged our poetry.”
