― Carole Maso, The Art Lover
“the fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light” ― Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola
“This is October for me: Withdrawing into my own world, blocking out everything except the beauty of the season, my reflections and my relationship with God, I find that this is enough to sustain me through the long, cold, winter – and beyond…” ― Peggy Toney Horton, Somewhere in Heaven My Mother Is Smiling
“October’s Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came –
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.”
― George Cooper
