Victorian Autumn by Thomas Kinkade

"On the motionless branches of some trees,

autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads,

as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels…"

~ Charles Dickens

"The autumn drifted away through all its seasons; the golden corn-harvest, the walks through the stubble fields, and rambles into hazel-copses in search of nuts; the stripping of the apple-orchards of their ruddy fruit, amid the joyous cries and shouts of watching children; and the gorgeous tulip-like colouring of the later time had now come on with the shortening days."

~ Elizabeth Gaskell, Wives and Daughters
