Idenitfy quote about life beginning again
June 4, 2008 5:01 PM Subscribe
I am trying to identify a quote - it was something to the effect that "life begins anew in the Fall" or "life begins again in the Fall". I believe it may have been part of the epigraph or dedication of a novel, perhaps by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton or possibly a British novelist. My english teacher explain that the quote referred to the social "season" that started up in the Fall when everyone returned to Town.
I have tried both the online and hardcopy versions of many different quote collections - Bartlett, Oxford etc. I must be mis-remembering some important word as I cannot find it. Any suggesitons will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Best answer: "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall"?

Response by poster: How funny if I remembered it as an epigraph and not as a quote! I'm going to check out The Great Gatsby - but I'll leave the question up for a bit to see if anyone comes up with something related to the social season. But thank you both so much for the input - and I love the Philip Larkin poem.
