“The first flash of colour always excites me as much as the first frail, courageous bloom of spring. This is, in a sense, my season – sometimes warm and, when the wind blows an alert, sometimes cold. But there is a clarity about September, and there’s a promise that what September starts, October will carry on, catching the torch flung into her hand.” ? Faith Baldwin (shortened version).
