Now, For October Eves

"Listen! the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves.
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!"
   (Humbert Wolfe)

"October Country.....that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the rivers are fog and the hills are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain."
     (Ray Bradbury)
