In this piece, I draw inspiration from Virginia Woolf's contemplative style in "Death of the Moth" and E.B. White's vivid imagery in "Once More to the Lake" to explore the transient beauty of nature as reflected in the changing seasons. Just as Woolf reflects on life and death through the lens of a moth's struggle, I will focus on the ephemeral moments of autumn leaves falling, symbolizing the cycle of life. Employing evocative imagery and a meditative tone, this narrative will capture the intricate relationship between nature and our human experiences.
