Wordy Wednesday

Hi, hope you are all having a great day today. It's time for our weekly venture into quotes and sayings once again.

This week's topic is 'Autumn'....it seems that Claire and I were both feeling Autumnal this week! ;o)

This has got to be my favourite season of the year, perhaps because I was born in November :)

I found a lot of beautiful poetry in my searches this week but I've tried to pick out slightly less 'wordy' ones that still convey the beauty and magical transformation that this season brings.

Let's get started!

autumn: the season between summer and winter (Little Oxford dictionary)

'Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.' Albert Camus

'Winter is an etching, spring a watercolour, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.' Stanley Horowitz

'No spring or summer beauty hath such grace

As I have seen in one autumnal face.' John Donne

'How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and colour are their last days.' John Burroughs

'Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.' Samuel Butler

'Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.' Elizabeth Lawrence

'October's poplars are flaming torches

lighting the way to winter.' Nova Blair

'October's the month

When the smallest breeze

Gives us a shower

Of autumn leaves.

Bonfires and pumpkins,

Leaves sailing down -

October is red

And golden and brown.'

Can Teach Songs

'Every leaf speaks to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.' Emily Bronte

'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...' John Keats

'You can't hide your true colours as you approach the autumn of your life.' Author unknown

That's just a small selection but I hope you find some inspiration in the words I've chosen this week. Thank you for joining us at Teddybo.
