Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or lake:
“As imperceptibly as Grief
The Summer lapsed away—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
