• Robert Burns, Man Was Made To Mourn: A Dirge (1784)
- “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*

to the left were the clear panes of glass, protecting, but not separating me from the drear November day.”

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)
- “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
- “'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)
- “One of the guard went to find him, and I waited at the barrack gate, before that huge ship of stone, booming with the November wind, out of which, every moment, for it was now six o’clock, men were emerging in pairs into the street, staggering as if they were coming ashore in some foreign port in which they found themselves temporarily anchored.”
• Marcel Proust, Names of People (Chapter 1)
- “October filled him with hope which November raised to a sort of ecstatic triumph, and in this mood the fleeting brilliant impressions of the summer at Sherry Island were ready grist to his mill.”
• F. Scott Fitzgerald, Winter Dreams
