For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
~ Edwin Way Teale
(Autumn Across America)
A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.
~ Anne Brontë
(The Tenant of Wildfell Hall)
I always love pictures of growing corn. It is such a majestic plant. And, as always, you found the perfect quotes to go with image.
Thank you, Sheryl. Corn stalks are lofty indeed – I’m always startled to get into the mazes and experience how tall they are, towering over me!
Beautiful image with that lovely autumn-looking sky. Great quotes. I’ve been laughing with nature now that summer’s heat and humidity have been toned down.
Thanks, Robin. My mood has improved by leaps and bounds since Sunday afternoon when the humidity finally went away – for good this time, I hope! It’s good when we can laugh with nature.
Lovely lines! I’m eagerly waiting for snowy days, then lots of pictures on the American blogs
Oh dear, Sonali! First we have to have a nice long autumn with the leaves changing color and falling to the ground, harvest feasts and festivals, etc. No snow until December, I hope!
Barbara, how do you find your quotes ? Are they ones you already know ? Did you Google “corn, poems” ? lol
Particularly loved the Anne Bronte quote – as I’m halfway through writing my novella of her and feel like I have another literary soul friend for life. Thanks for sharing, Barbara!
You’re welcome, Diane! It seems to me Anne doesn’t get as much attention as her two sisters do – so nice to hear you’re writing a novella about her. Looking forward to reading it!
