Mednyánszky, Autumn Landscape in the Early Evening, 1880

No sun — no moon!

No morn — no noon —

No dawn — no dusk — no proper time of day.

 

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,

No comfortable feel in any member —

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! —

November!

Thomas Hood
