Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or madness:
“So summer comes in the end to these few stains
And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.
The house is empty. But here is where she sat
To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,
Perplexed by its darker iridescences.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Much Madness is divinest Sense
To a discerning Eye
Much Sensethe starkest Madness”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
