Famous quotes containing the words france and/or summer:
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Behind the glass, under the cellophane,
Remains your final summer sweet
And meaningless, and not to come again.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
