Summary

This quote describes the bountiful season of Autumn, which is symbolized as being pregnant with abundant growth and harvest. It compares Autumn to a widow who is carrying the weight of abundance despite the loss of her partner, analogous to how a woman carries the burden of her deceased husband's heir in her womb. The quote highlights the paradoxical nature of Autumn, which is both a time of vibrant growth and abundance, yet also a reminder of the transience and eventual decay of life.
