“Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the
day, from the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves
and withered hedges, and from repeating to herself some few of the
thousand poetical descriptions extant of autumn--that season of peculiar
and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness--that
season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt
at description, or some lines of feeling.”
--Jane Austen Persuasion
Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!!
