“I wrote a famous sonnet comparing the later years of life to autumn, when ‘yellow leaves’ cling to branches and the last light of day begins to fade. My plays and poetry would make me one of the most influential writers in the English language, even centuries after my death.

Who Am I?”

“Today I saw a thing of arresting poignant beauty:
A strong young tree, brave in its Autumn finery
Of scarlet and burnt umber and flame yellow,
Bending beneath a weight of early snow,
Which sheathed the north side of its slender trunk,
And spread a heavy white chilly afghan
Over its crested leaves.
Yet they thrust through, defiant, glowing,
Claiming the right to live another fortnight...”

Alice Dunbar-Nelson (1875–1935) was an American poet, author, educator, journalist, and activist whose career spanned the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A prominent African American literary figure, she wrote about race, identity, nature, gender, and social injustice. In Snow in October, she captures autumn's brilliant final display of color as the first signs of winter begin to appear.

September 1 marks the beginning of meteorological autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, but astronomical autumn begins later, at the autumnal equinox. The equinox occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, bringing nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness to the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In 2026, the autumnal equinox arrives on September 22, a moment that has marked the seasonal transition for cultures around the world for centuries.

“The Seine flows out of the mist
And into the mist again;
The trees lean over the water,
The small leaves fall like rain.
The leaves fall patiently,
Nothing remembers or grieves;
The river takes to the sea,
The yellow drift of the leaves.
Milky and cold is the air,
The leaves float with the stream,
The river comes out of a sleep
And goes away in a dream.”

Sara Teasdale (1884–1933) was an American lyric poet known for her elegant and emotionally intimate poetry about love, nature, beauty, solitude, and mortality. Her poetry frequently transformed simple observations of the natural world into reflections on the passage of time. These lines come from September Day, making them particularly appropriate for the beginning of September and the quiet transition from summer into autumn.

“He loved with single heart and refused to cheapen himself or his love.”

Jack London (1876-1916) was an American author, journalist, and adventurer whose writings explored survival, nature, and the profound relationships between humans and animals. In White Fang (1906), London followed the journey of a wild wolf-dog hybrid who gradually learned trust and affection through his relationship with the human who showed him kindness. Through his stories of both White Fang and The Call of the Wild, London created some of literature’s most enduring portrayals of the loyalty, intelligence, and emotional depth of the canine world.
