• Lance Morrow
Literature relating to November
- “In November days,
When vapours rolling down the valley made
A lonely scene more lonesome, among woods
At noon, and 'mid the calm of summer nights,
When, by the margin of the trembling lake,
Beneath the gloomy hills homeward I went
In solitude, such intercourse was mine;
Mine was it in the fields both day and night,
And by the waters, all the summer long.”
• William Wadsworth, The Prelude (Book 1)
- “November came, with raging south-west winds. Building had to stop because it was now too wet to mix the cement.”
• George Orwell, Animal Farm: Chapter 6
- “From thence he removed to Granville, Washington county, near a place known as Slyborough, where, for some years, he labored on the farm of Clark Northup, also a relative of his old master; from thence he removed to the Alden farm, at Moss Street, a short distance north of the village of Sandy Hill; and from thence to the farm now owned by Russel Pratt, situated on the road leading from Fort Edward to Argyle, where he continued to reside until his death, which took place on the 22d day of November, 1829. He left a widow and two children —myself, and Joseph, an elder brother. The latter is still living in the county of Oswego, near the city of that name; my mother died during the period of my captivity.”
• Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave
- “THEY read the long afternoon through, while the cold November rain fell from the sky upon the quiet house. They sat in the hall because the parlor was so empty and grey-looking without its walls lit with orange and yellow confetti and sky-rockets and women in gold-mesh dresses and men in black velvet pulling one-hundred-pound rabbits from silver hats.”
• Ray Bradbury, The Sieve and the Sand
- “Give me the end of the year an' its fun
When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done;
Bring all the wanderers home to the nest,
Let me sit down with the ones I love best,
Hear the old voices still ringin' with song,
See the old faces unblemished by wrong,
See the old table with all of its chairs
An' I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers.”
• Edgar A. Guest, Thanksgiving
- “Well, the night of November twenty-one I was comin' in from the
woods with a load o'kindlin' and just as I got to the fence I heard
Mayella screamin' like a stuck hog inside the house-”
• Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (Chapter 17)
- “It was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday night late in November, before the first of the persons with whom this history has business.”
• Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities (Chap 1.2)
- “But I was touched to find that these chrysanthemums appeared less ephemeral than, one might almost say, lasting, when I compared them with the tones, as pink, as coppery, which the setting sun so gorgeously displays amid the mists of a November afternoon, and which, after seeing them, before I had entered the house, fade from the sky, I found again inside, prolonged, transposed on to the flaming palette of the flowers.”
• Marcel Proust, Madame Swann at Home (Chapter 1)
- “There once was a country… I left it as a child
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.”
• Carol Rumens, Émigrée*
- “'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.”
• Lord Byron, Don Juan (Canto 1)

- “I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind

But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing
I learned
Is that I need you desperately - From Where Do Broken Hearts Go”

When the skies of November turn gloomy.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the "Gales of November" came early
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered
"Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!" - From The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”

I’ll wait for You
As the pages of my life roll by
I’ll wait for You - From Without You”

It's time for jazz to die
