a blanket of color before me, who could ask for more?

been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass
on a summer day listening to the murmur of water,
or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is hardly a waste of time.

This was one of those perfect New England days in late summer where the spirit of autumn takes a first stealing flight, like a spy, through the ripening country-side, and, with feigned sympathy for those who droop with August heat, puts her cool cloak of bracing air about leaf and flower and human shoulders. (Sarah Orne Jewett)
Press close, bare-bosomed Night! Press close, magnetic,
nourishing Night!
Night of south winds! Night of the large, few stars!
Still, nodding Night! Mad, naked, Summer Night!
(Walt Whitman)
Summer makes me drowsy,
Autumn makes me sing,
Winter’s pretty lousy,
but I hate Spring.

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. (Henry James)
"Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now
don't you cry
One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that mornin'
Ain't nothin' can harm you
With your daddy
And your mammy
standin' by."
(George Gershwin and Dubose Heyward from Porgy and Bess)
