Autumn, Eric Sloane
A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.

October, Thomas Bailey Aldrich
October turned my maple's leaves to gold;
The most are gone now; here and there one lingers.
Soon these will slip from out the twig's weak hold,
Like coins between a dying miser's fingers.
- Thomas Bailey Aldrich (1836-1907), October

Reading, Chinese Proverb
读书须用意,一字值千金
读 dú | 书 shū | 须 xū | 用 yòng | 意 yì | 一 yī | 字 zì | 值 zhí | 千 qiān | 金 jīn |
- 中國俗談
讀書鬚用意 一字值千金
Intention of required study, the word worth a thousand gold.
- Chinese Proverb
Meaning: When reading, don’t let a single word escape your attention; one word may be worth a thousand pieces of gold. This proverb stresses the fact that study requires undivided attention. And if there is something you don't understand, interrupt yourself. Only in this way can study be rewarded.
