Rained last night and all this day for the most part, bringing down the leaves, buttonwoods and sugar maples, in the street.
The rich yellow and scarlet leaves of the sugar maple on the Common now thickly cover the grass in great circles about the trees, and, half having fallen, look like the reflection of the trees in water lighting up the Common, reflecting light even to the surrounding houses.
The gentle touch of the rain brings down more leaves than the wind.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 24, 1855
Leaves cover the grass in great circles about the trees, and, half having fallen, look like the reflection of the trees. See October 15, 1853 ("They suddenly form thick beds or carpets on the ground . . . just the size and form of the tree above.”)
