Literature relating to November
- “... The taste of a fruit, the taste of water,
That face given back to us by a dream,
The first jasmine of November, ...”
• Jorge Luis Borges, Shinto
- “'Twas in November, but I'm not so sure
About the day—the era's more obscure.
'Twas in November, when fine days are few,
And the far mountains wax a little hoary,
And clap a white cape on their mantles blue;
And the sea dashes round the promontory,
And the loud breaker boils against the rock,
And sober suns must set at five o'clock.”

but my memory of it is sunlight-clear
for it seems I never saw it in that November
which, I am told, comes to the mildest city.”
