frost
For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

get sunshine when dark, somber skies blanket our thoughts. ~Dodinsky

Golden light
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
