Maples Quotes

“I’d always had mixed feelings about maples. While others pointed them out as happy harbingers of the cozy season to come, they had always seemed to me to be reckless—the first small flames of fall, each dropping leaf a burning ember that spread the fire until every tree was bare and dead and the November snows came like ash. I’d learned not to share this opinion with others, as it was universally judged as incomprehensible. Everyone loved fall.”
