Autumn: The Best Season

The Moon

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. ~George Carlin

Swans

More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise. ~Orlando Gibbons

Maud XVIII

I have led her home, my love, my only friend, There is none like her, none. And never yet so warmly ran my blood And sweetly, on and on Calming itself to the long-wished-for end, Full to the banks, close on the promised good. ~ Tennyson

The Night Sky

The Wind

WELCOME, wild North Easter! Shame it is to see Odes to every Zephyr; Ne'er a verse to thee. ~Ode to the North-east Wind by Charles Kingsley

Music

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ~ Plato

Best Friends

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Wuthering Heights

If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger; I should not seem a part of it. ~Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Warrior Women

Slender and tall she was in her white robe girt with silver; but strong she seemed and stern as steel, a daughter of kings.” ~J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers ........................................ "The Women of this country learned long ago: those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain." Eowyn, The Two Towers

West of the Moon, East of the Sun

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though I oft have passed them by, A day will come at last when I Shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun. ~J.R.R. Tolkien

Snow

Snow possesses the magical ability to turn us all into children once more. It transforms the most ordinary of scenes into a fairy realm where one feels it likely to see any manner of extraordinary things; indeed, the tiny tracks of a field mouse in the snow look remarkably like a shred of lace dropped from the gown of the Snow Queen herself. ~Grace
