Last year is dead, they seem to say, Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.”

“The trees change their voices in autumn as well as their shapes. No longer do they whisper to one another in muffled tones as they did in summer; they talk in a different leaf-language now.

It is the main theme of the autumn music, this murmuring counterpoint of dead leaves.”
