William Shakespeare Quotes About Autumn

• The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
  Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
  And on old Hiems' thin and icy crown
  An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
  Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer,
  The childing autumn, angry winter, change
  Their wonted liveries, and the mazed world,
  By their increase, now knows not which is which.

• To me, fair friend, you never can be old,
  For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
  Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold
  Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,
  Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd
  In process of the seasons have I seen,
  Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
  Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
