[T]hat old September feeling, left over from school days,
of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering,
books and football in the air ... Another fall, another turned page:
there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning,
as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”
(from Angle of Repose)― Wallace Stegner (American Novelist)
