‘What a severe yet master artist old Winter is…. No longer the canvas and the pigments, but the marble and the chisel.’ John Burroughs, 1866

The Winds are Blowing…

“A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.” George R. R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

the river will rise to cleanse…

“Autumn wins you best by this, its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.” Robert Browning

“There is a subtle magic in the falling of old leaves.” Avijeet Das
