A more realistic poet, Archibald Macleish, says that " Autumn is the American season. In Europe the leaves turn yellow or brown and fall. Here they take fire on the trees and hang there flaming. Life, too, we think, is capable of taking fire in this country: of creating beauty never seen. "Autumn is also the authentic season of renewal. Yale Lecturer William Zinsser hit the nail squarely, " The whole notion of New Year"s Day as the time is autumn. Popular pleasure shows itself in those hastening steps and brightened smiles encountered as the air grows nippier. Some psychiatrists have patients who grow almost alarmed at how congenial they suddenly feel. " The season of autumn does induce a quickening of the blood and a heightening of humankind"s sensual pleasures. Yet the very jubilant excesses that ensue often lead, at last, to the well-known post-Thanksgiving "holiday blues". In darker ways still, fate and tragedy have made some American Novembers seem crueler than April.Autumn is honest: it does not pretend to be heaven. Yet almost everybody recognizes that the season"s character transcends those familiar bracing days, crystal nights, bigger stars, vaulted skies, fluted twilights, harvest moons, frosted pumpkins and that riotous foliage that impels whole traffic jams of leaf freaks up into New England. What is not recognized is that autumn is richly enhanced simply by what it is not. Specifically, it is not summer, winter or spring.
