Autumn…

“. . . you know what autumn looks like. . . . you have surely seen postcards and photographs of the kind of autumn I mean. The trees go all red and blazing orange and gold, and wood fires burn at night so everything smells of crisp branches. The world rolls about delightedly in a heap of cider and candy and apples and pumpkins and cold stars rush by through wispy, ragged clouds . . . .”

~ Catherynne M. Valente, contemporary American writer and poet, in The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland . . . .
