"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 of the 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."
- Persuasion, Jane Austen
Light-bulb: Notice above how Jane Austen uses descriptions of Autumn and ties them in with feelings. She also lets us know what her character enjoys about that particular season. "Lines of feeling" and "poetical descriptions" are direly needed here.
Specifics: For this Light-bulb, give as many descriptions as possible in either one paragraph or one poem--this time you chose. Happy lighting!
