Late Summer

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or summer:

    The late PrĂ©sident de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blind—he had been so for such a long time—but I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Does he lie there
    forever, where his rifle waits, giant
    and straight? . . . I think you die again
    and live again,
    Johnny, each summer that moves inside
    my mind.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
