Autumn is Like Old Age

ἔοικε δὲ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ περιιόντος οἷον γῆρας εἶναι τὸ φθινόπωρον· οὔπω γὰρ ἥκει τὸ ὑγρόν, οὐκέτι δὲ τὸ θερμὸν ἔρρωται

And as the year revolves, late autumn is like old age; for the wet season has not arrived, and the warm season is no longer strong
Plutarch, Moralia, VIII.736. My translation.
