It says "solved" - by whom?

[Pinot's Mom]

kokopup has correctly guessed the puzzle, and has agreed to host the next:

"Where had our autumn gone? The clear days twisted and spiraled past us;
they had vanished like the maple leaves."

From a lovely book I'm reading called "Afternoons with Emily" - a novel about a relationship between Emily Dickinson and a character named "Miranda Chase". I found reference to the book on line, and could pull up a couple of the first pages, but this was not referenced anywhere I could find.:)

Sorry, Karen, I had changed the title to "Solved", but got caught up in doing something else before I posted this....:rolleyes:

Gosh that was quick! :D
