"THE OCTOBER COUNTRY =85 that country where it is always turning late in
the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are
mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and
midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars,
sub-cellars, coalbins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from
the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only
autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks
sound like rain=85"

This from David Hartwell:
"He was important. He was not the definitive SF writer, far from it,
but a major fantasist and just plain an American writer of enormous
talent and impact."
