“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."
