Summer Long

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or long:

    The consolations of space are nameless things.
    It was after the neurosis of winter. It was
    In the genius of summer that they blew up
    The statue of Jove among the boomy clouds.
    It took all day to quieten the sky
    And then to refill its emptiness again....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “My mother thinks us long away;
    ‘Tis time the field were mown.
    She had two sons at rising day,
    To-night she’ll be alone.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
