“Fall leaves fall die flowers away 
Lengthen night and shorten day 
Every leaf speaks bliss to me 
Fluttering from the autumn tree 
I shall smile when wreaths of snow 
Blossom where the rose should grow 
I shall sing when night’s decay 
Ushers in a drearier day”
— Emily Brontë, The Complete Poems

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”
