But pour us wine, an old one!
That we may turn this dreary day
To golden, yes, to golden!

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core...
(-John Keats, 1795-1821, from "To Autumn")

"The days are warm yet cold, clear yet hazy; the world lives but dies. And the Sun, pretending that it's not losing its grip, that none of this is happening, pours down more and more light that's all the while thinner and thinner. By All Hallow's Eve there's just nothing left of reason or fatness or gold -- there's nothing but dark music -- and the trees gasp naked and frail into November."

The face of the warm bright world is the face of a flower,
The word of the wind and the leaves that the light winds fan
As the word that quickened at first into flame, and ran,
Creative and subtle and fierce with invasive power,
Through darkness and cloud, from the breath of the one God, Pan.
(Algernon Charles Swinburne, 1837-1909)
