Famous quotes containing the words visit and/or june:

    Even the simple act that we call “going to visit a person of our acquaintance” is in part an intellectual act. We fill the physical appearance of the person we see with all the notions we have about him, and in the totality of our impressions about him, these notions play the most important role.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    In June the bush we call
    alder was heavy, listless,
    its leaves studded with galls,
    growing wherever we didn’t
    want it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
