Hello to all who like Bradbury works!

We are the band called Reutoff from Moscow which plays industrial ambient music. We are going to release our new album called Maska and we wanted to use some literature quotes to make a kind of illustrations to every track.

Since it will be an international release we need an original quote in English, we think that it's worthless to translate it back from Russian. Unfortunately, we were not succeeded to find the necessary work in the net in English, so we ask for help from everyone who would be so kind to support us.

The quote we need is from "Something Wicked This Way Comes", from Chapter 38, it is a text in "", which starts with something like "For some people autumn comes early and stays forever" and ends with "Beware to meet them on your way".

We would very much appreciate any help either with some link to e-library with that book or with just a quote in an e-mail. Please, if possible, send it to the address reutoff@industrialmusic.ru.

Our activities are not commercial and have an amateur background. If you need further info about our works you could visit our web-site http://reutoff.industrialmusic.ru

Thank you very much in advance
Yours,
Reutoff

"For some, autumn comes early, stays late through life where October follows September and November touches October and then instead of December and Christ's birth, there is no Bethlehem Star, no rejoicing, but September comes again and old October and so on down the years, with no winter, spring, or revivifying summer. For these beings, fall is the ever normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in thier head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth. In gusts they beetle-scurry, creep, thread, filter, motion, make all moons sullen, and surely cloud all clear-run waters. The spider-web hears them, trembles -- breaks. Such are the autumn people. Beware of them."

"Something Wicked This Way Comes". Ray Bradbury. Avon Books, NY. 1962, 1967. (p. 191-192)
