User-Contributed Transcription Faded and Gone.Faded and gone. These are simple words, but at the present season they contain a deep meaning, and to me they are plainly written on Nature's expansive brow. To a mediative mind they visibly appear on every side, and they seem to whisper the mournful truth that autumn sad, sighing autumn -- has faded and gone.Like a spirit bearing in its mystic grasp the shadowy scepter of decay, it succeeded the silent departure of summer; and like a spirit it has completed its mission of blight and then vanished. Mystically it has sliced behind the viewless vail of the dying year, where it is now mouldering with the sweet ashes of its vernal and flowery precedents.
