Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or madness:

    The fire in leaf and grass
    so green it seems
    each summer the last summer.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The eye-balls were seared with a milky mucus;
    The madness of a dying soul
    Was written on her face—
    But the multitude saw why she wore the bandage.”
    Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
