The pines, too, have fallen.

October 16.

October 16, 2014

In the streets the ash and most of the elm trees are bare of leaves; the red maples also for the most part, apparently, at a distance. 

The pines, too, have fallen.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 16, 1854

The ash and most of the elm trees are bare of leaves; the red maples also. See October 13, 1858 ("The elms are at least half bare. "); October 15, 1859 ("The ash trees I see to-day are quite bare,"); October 17, 1857 (“A great many more ash trees, elms, etc., are bare now.”); October 19, 1856 (“Both the white and black ash are quite bare, and some of the elms there.”); October 24, 1853 ("Red maples and elms alone very conspicuously bare in our landscape"); October 26, 1854 ("Apple trees are generally bare, as well as bass, ash, elm, maple.")

The pines, too, have fallen. See October 16, 1855 ("How evenly the freshly fallen pine-needles are spread on the ground!"); October 16, 1857 ("A great part of the pine-needles have just fallen.") See also A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, The Pine Fall
