1...the spring,the summer,

The chilling autumn,angry winter,change

Their wonted liveries; and the mazed world

By their increase,now knows not which is which.

- William Shakespeare,A Midsummer Night's Dream

2.No matter how long the winter,spring is sure to follow.

- Proverb from Guinea

3.Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence

Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance

Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence

Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.

- Yoko Ono,Season of Glass

4.Winter is an etching,spring a watercolor,summer an oil painting

and autumn a mosaic of them all.

For nature,it is a time of sowing,of scattering abroad.

6.There is a harmony

In autumn,and a lustre in its sky,

Which through the summer is not heard or seen,

As if it could not be,as if it had not been!

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

7.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.

8.Winter is cold-hearted.

Spring is yea and nay,

Autumn is a weather-cock,

Blown every way.

Summer days for me.

When every leaf is on its tree.

- Christina Rossetti

9.Then summer fades and passes and October comes.We'll smell smoke then,

and feel an unexpected sharpness,a thrill of nervousness,swift elation,a

sense of sadness and departure.

10.autumn is leaving

tugging each others' branches

two pine trees

- Shiki's Autumn Poem
