I love dead forests,
When the decrepit month limps,
Like half a wheel. (Igor Severyanin)

You, this year’s evening, autumn,
be the picture of my old age!

and your sun is mild in spring:
the green field smiles
deep in October without frost,
and the must swells in the grape,
as enthusiasm swells in the breast. (Friedrich Rückert)

In October we get older, We cool down from a passionate summer, And under a blanket, tired from work, We hide somewhere in our apartments. We make green tea, Instead of rum, tequila, sambuca, We watch old soap films, Warming cold hands. Sometimes we get colds, Outside the window it’s almost like a blizzard. In October, we are supposed to be bored, Remembering, without words, each other. (D. Vian)

In rough October
Earth must disrobe her… (Christina G. Rossetti)

And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather. (Helen Hunt Jackson)

Nature and October
In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air. (Alexander Smith)
October has already come — the grove is already shaking off the
Last leaves from its naked branches;
The autumn chill has died — the road freezes through.
A murmuring stream still runs behind the mill,
But the pond has already frozen; my neighbor hurries to the outgoing
fields with his hunting,
And the winters suffer from furious fun,
And the sleeping oak forests wake up the barking of dogs. (Aleksandr Pushkin)
Death and October
It’s awful when you’re buried in October, isn’t it? (Gabriel García Márquez)

Look around contemptuously,
You can kiss anyone,
Deceive, destroy and ***
To disgust, drink to madness.
But don’t start loving in October. (Joseph Brodsky)
Light and October
The clear light that belongs to October was making the landscape radiant. (Florence Bone)
October colors crowd into a light of hope blowing through the air in memory. (Monika Minder)
But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer. (John Burroughs)
Wind and October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all. (Robert Frost)
The north wind roaring down in October is cruel and cold and reminds you again — as the sea has a way of doing — that nature does not care for man. And somehow that makes the red and yellow leaves and the blue, deceptive noons all the sweeter and more precious because living is so dangerous and so short and can be so bitter. (Elliott Merrick)
Sun and October
October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master. (Elizabeth Enright)
Pale amber sunlight falls across
The reddening October trees,
That hardly sway before a breeze
As soft as summer: summer’s loss
Seems little, dear! on days like these. (Ernest Dowson)

The nights may be stormy and cold;
But, for him who has eyes to behold,
The violets bloom in October! (Elizabeth Akers Allen)

October is not only a beautiful month but marks the precious yet fleeting overlap of hockey, baseball, basketball, and football. (Jason Love)
