• Each leaf that brushed his face deepened his sadness and dread. Each leaf he passed he'd never pass again. They rode over his face like veils, already some yellow, their veins like slender bones where the sun shone through them. He had resolved himself to ride on for he could not turn back and the world that day was as lovely as any day that ever was and he was riding to his death.

• I have no wit, no words, no tears;
  My heart within me like a stone
  Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears;
  Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
  I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief
  No everlasting hills I see;
  My life is in the falling leaf:
  O Jesus, quicken me.

  Christina Rossetti

• O hushed October morning mild,
  Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
  Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
  Should waste them all.
  The crows above the forest call;
  Tomorrow they may form and go.
  O hushed October morning mild,
  Begin the hours of this day slow.
  Make the day seem to us less brief.
  Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
  Beguile us in the way you know.
  Release one leaf at break of day;
  At noon release another leaf;
  One from our trees, one far away.

  Robert Frost

• A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do thingsagainst himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions.
