October
“The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight,
The water mirrors a still sky.”
~William Butler Yeats
In October, autumn comes into full swing.
This month's name stems from the Latin octo, "eight", because this was the eighth month of the early Roman calendar.
