Late Summer

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or summer:

    When any man expresses doubt to me as to the use that I or any other woman might make of the ballot if we had it, my answer is, What is that to you? If you have for years defrauded me of my rightful inheritance, and then, as a stroke of policy, of from late conviction, concluded to restore to me my own domain, must I ask you whether I may make of it a garden of flowers, or a field of wheat, or a pasture for kine?
    Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898)

    Over the threshold
    Nothing like death stepped, nothing like death paused,
    Nothing like death has such hair, arms so raised.
    Why are your feet bare? Was not death to come?
    Why is he not here? What summer have you broken from?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
