Summer Quotes
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. (Henry James) 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. (John Lubbock) 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. (Dorothy Parker) 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)
