Quote by Truman Capote
It was ideal apple-eating weather; the whitest sunlight descended from the purest sky, and an easterly wind rustled, without ripping loose, the last of the leaves on the Chinese elms. Autumns reward western Kansas for the evils at the remaining seasons impose: winter's rough Colorado winds and hip-high, sheep slaughtering snows; the slushes and the strange land fogs of spring; and summer, when even crows seek the puny shade, and the tawny infinitude of wheatstalks bristle, blaze.
Summary
This quote describes the ideal weather for enjoying apples in western Kansas during autumn. The author emphasizes the pristine conditions - clear skies, white sunlight, and a gentle wind that shakes the remaining leaves from the trees. In this region, autumn becomes a reward for enduring the harshness of the other seasons, such as the strong winter winds and heavy snow, the muddy slush and foggy springs, and the scorching hot summers. The rich description invites the reader to envision a perfect autumn day and appreciate the beauty of nature in this particular setting.
