Midsummer Night

Famous quotes containing the words midsummer and/or night:

    Spring is strong and virtuous,
    Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
    Quickening underneath the mould
    Grains beyond the price of gold.
    So deep and large her bounties are,
    That one broad, long midsummer day
    Shall to the planet overpay
    The ravage of a year of war.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Let me have wisdom, Beauty, wisdom and passion,
    Bread to the soul, rain when the summers parch.
    Give me but these, and though the darkness close
    Even the night will blossom as the rose.
    John Masefield (1878–1967)
