When the leaves begin to change their colours and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes the White Dew, the 15th Solar Term of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.
For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It's the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there's mist and it's cooler. Winter is just around the corner.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, "You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light."
But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colourful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought, "Autumn was a second spring when every leaf is a flower." This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.
Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature.
The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole, writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he's reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.

### 文章翻译
当树叶开始变色，鸟儿飞向南方时，我们知道季节开始变化了。9月7日迎来了一年中的第15个节气——白露。它标志着凉爽的秋天的开始。随着气温下降，夜晚的草地和树木上常常会出现白露。
对于作家和诗人来说，秋天是一个难以描述的季节。它是夏天的结束，因此略带伤感。白天似乎变得更短了，当你早上醒来时，会有薄雾，而且天气更凉爽了。冬天即将来临。
美国作家欧内斯特·海明威在他的书《流动的盛宴》中写道：“你会预料到秋天会感到悲伤。每年当树叶从树上落下，树枝在寒风和冬日的冷光中变得光秃秃时，你的一部分也随之消逝了。”
但另一方面，秋天也有它美好的一面。每年的这个时候有很多变化，比如五彩斑斓的树叶和凉爽的夜晚。法国作家阿尔贝·加缪甚至认为：“秋天是第二个春天，每一片树叶都是一朵花。”这种观点也出现在英国文学中最著名的秋天诗歌——约翰·济慈的《秋颂》中。在那首诗中，济慈说秋天有它自己的歌声，就像春天一样。
这个季节的另一个主题是智慧。秋天的到来被认为类似于一个人变得成熟。
伟大的爱尔兰诗人威廉·巴特勒·叶芝在他的诗《库尔的野天鹅》中运用了这个想法，描写了爱尔兰西部库尔公园的季节变化。看到并数了59只天鹅，他记起自己年轻时第一次数这些天鹅的时候。看到天鹅年复一年做着同样的事情，他意识到，尽管我们变老，我们的心永远保持着同样的年龄。
