Henry David Thoreau Quotations: Autumn
There was a remarkable sunset, I think the 25th of October. The sunset sky reached quite from west to east, and it was the most varied in its forms and colors of any that I remember to have seen.—Journal, 12 November 1859
We are most apt to remember and cherish the flowers which appear earliest in the spring. I look with equal affection on those which are the latest to bloom in the fall.—Journal, 31 August 1850
We remember autumn to best advantage in the spring; the finest aroma of it reaches us then.—Journal, 9 May 1852
