　　Autumn means different things to different people.It all depends on your personality，said British naturalist Richard Mabey.“Personality shapes your view of the season，” he said.“You may see it as a fading away，a packing up，or as a time of packing in another sense—the excited gathering of resources before a long journey.”

　　If this is true，perhaps it tells us a little about，for instance，Thomas Hood，the 19th Century English poet.About November，he wrote：

　　No warmth，no cheerfulness，no healthful ease

　　No shade，no shine，no butterflies，no bees

　　November!

　　On the other hand，another English poet John Keats，already sensing he was seriously ill，was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the greatest poems in the English language，To Autumn.He wrote to a friend afterwards，saying there was something comforting about autumn.

　　According to Richard Mabey，Keats has the biological evidence on his side.Autumn is not a time of slowing down，but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.For example，just at the moment that Keats’“gathering swallows (燕子)”(in To Autumn) are leaving for Africa，millions of creatures from the frozen north are fleeing into Britain.Wild geese arrive from Iceland，Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts.People might argue that it is the coloring of the leaves and their eventual fall that make people feel sad about autumn.But no one is sure why trees drop their leaves in the first place.It may be to rid the poisonous material trees collect over the summer.More likely，it is a way of reducing the loss of water，which tree roots find hard to take in from cold soil.
