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.
