Literature relating to November
- “November came, with raging south-west winds. Building had to stop because it was now too wet to mix the cement.”
• George Orwell, Animal Farm: Chapter 6
- “But I was touched to find that these chrysanthemums appeared less ephemeral than, one might almost say, lasting, when I compared them with the tones, as pink, as coppery, which the setting sun so gorgeously displays amid the mists of a November afternoon, and which, after seeing them, before I had entered the house, fade from the sky, I found again inside, prolonged, transposed on to the flaming palette of the flowers.”
• Marcel Proust, Madame Swann at Home (Chapter 1)
- “There once was a country… I left it as a child
but my memory of it is sunlight-clear
for it seems I never saw it in that November
which, I am told, comes to the mildest city.”
• Carol Rumens, Émigrée*
- “THEY read the long afternoon through, while the cold November rain fell from the sky upon the quiet house. They sat in the hall because the parlor was so empty and grey-looking without its walls lit with orange and yellow confetti and sky-rockets and women in gold-mesh dresses and men in black velvet pulling one-hundred-pound rabbits from silver hats.”
• Ray Bradbury, The Sieve and the Sand
- “When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bare.”
• Robert Burns, Man Was Made To Mourn: A Dirge (1784)
- “In November days,
When vapours rolling down the valley made
A lonely scene more lonesome, among woods
At noon, and 'mid the calm of summer nights,
When, by the margin of the trembling lake,
Beneath the gloomy hills homeward I went
In solitude, such intercourse was mine;
Mine was it in the fields both day and night,
And by the waters, all the summer long.”
• William Wadsworth, The Prelude (Book 1)
- “Folds of scarlet drapery shut in my view to the right hand;
to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day.”
• Charlotte Brontö, Jane Eyre (Chap. 1)
- “To enter out into that silence that was the city at eight o'clock of a misty evening in November, to put your feet upon that buckling concrete walk, to step over grassy seams and make your way, hands in pockets, through the silences, that was what Mr Leonard Mead most dearly loved to do”
• Ray Bradbury, The Pedestrian
- “We haven't met for many years,“ said Daisy, her voice as matter-of-fact as it could ever be.”
“Five years next November.”
• F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (Chapter V)
- “It was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday night late in November, before the first of the persons with whom this history has business.”
