“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
Albert Camus

Although this is a beautiful photo and verse that is trending – Camus is not extolling the beauty of autumn, but rather portraying it as false and deceptive replacement for a poverty-stricken and bleak spring, tricking one into thinking that all is in bloom, when in actuality everything is dying. This quote or at least its original French incarnation is from Act 2 of his 1944 play The Misunderstanding (Le Malentendu).
