Famous quotes containing the words cruel and/or summer:
“Quince. Marry, our play is “The most lamentable comedy and most cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe.”
Bottom. A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
