Summer afternoon-summer afternoon;
to me those have always
been the two most beautiful
words in the English language.
Henry James
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
William Shakespeare
What is one to say about June, the time
of perfect young summer,
the fulfillment
of the promise of the earlier months,
and with as yet no sign to remind
one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.
Gertrude
What a beautiful, sunny morning. It makes you happy to be alive, doesn't it? We can't let the sun outshine us! We have to beam, too!
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
The summer night is
like a perfection of thought.
Wallace Stevens
I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.
Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit
A perfect summer day is when
the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing,
the birds are singing,
and the lawn mower is broken.
James Dent
In the depth of winter, I finally learned
that within me there lay
an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
One swallow does not
make a summer.
Aristotle
There shall be eternal summer
in the grateful heart.
Celia Thaxter
If a June night could talk,
it would probably boast it invented romance.
Bern Williams
Summer set lip to earth's
bosom bare,
And left the flushed
print in a poppy there.
Francis Thompson
To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry,
though never in a
Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
Emily Dickinson
Have a nice Summer...
