Quote by Hal Borland
Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise

Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night; and thus he would never know the rhythms that are at the heart of life. – Hal Borland

Other quotes by Hal Borland

Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of completion; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with Autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the substance of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon? – Hal Borland

Around and around the house the leaves fall thick—but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow.
