Famous quotes containing the words short and/or summer:
“But come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight.”

“I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal their eggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,—it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.”
