“This was one of those perfect New England days in late summer where the spirit of autumn takes a first stealing flight, like a spy, through the ripening country-side, and, with feigned sympathy for those who droop with August heat, puts her cool cloak of bracing air about leaf and flower and human shoulders.”
— Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), American novelist, short-story writer and poet, best known for her works set along or near the southern coast of Maine.
