Literature relating to November
- “When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bare.”
• Robert Burns, Man Was Made To Mourn: A Dirge (1784)
- “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
- “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)
- “Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!”
• English Folk Verse, The Fifth of November (Guy Fawkes Night Poem)
- “One of the guard went to find him, and I waited at the barrack gate, before that huge ship of stone, booming with the November wind, out of which, every moment, for it was now six o’clock, men were emerging in pairs into the street, staggering as if they were coming ashore in some foreign port in which they found themselves temporarily anchored.”
• Marcel Proust, Names of People (Chapter 1)
- “Well, the night of November twenty-one I was comin' in from the
woods with a load o'kindlin' and just as I got to the fence I heard
Mayella screamin' like a stuck hog inside the house-”
• Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (Chapter 17)
- “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)
- “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)
- “'Twas in November, but I'm not so sure
About the day—the era's more obscure.
'Twas in November, when fine days are few,
And the far mountains wax a little hoary,
And clap a white cape on their mantles blue;
And the sea dashes round the promontory,
And the loud breaker boils against the rock,
And sober suns must set at five o'clock.”
• Lord Byron, Don Juan (Canto 1)
- “From thence he removed to Granville, Washington county, near a place known as Slyborough, where, for some years, he labored on the farm of Clark Northup, also a relative of his old master; from thence he removed to the Alden farm, at Moss Street, a short distance north of the village of Sandy Hill; and from thence to the farm now owned by Russel Pratt, situated on the road leading from Fort Edward to Argyle, where he continued to reside until his death, which took place on the 22d day of November, 1829. He left a widow and two children —myself, and Joseph, an elder brother. The latter is still living in the county of Oswego, near the city of that name; my mother died during the period of my captivity.”
• Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave
