Quote for September
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And Autumn's best of cheer.
- Helen Hunt Jackson
The morrow
was a bright September morn;
The earth was beautiful as if newborn;
There was nameless splendor everywhere,
That wild exhilaration in the air,
Which makes the passers in the city street
Congratulate each other as they meet
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it solftly, her warm ear

Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten"
- James Russell Lowell
