Summer think

Summer afternoon-summer afternoon; 

to me those have always 

been the two most beautiful 

words in the English language.

Henry James 

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 

And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

William Shakespeare 

What is one to say about June, the time 

of perfect young summer,

the fulfillment 

of the promise of the earlier months, 

and with as yet no sign to remind 

one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.  

Gertrude

What a beautiful, sunny morning. It makes you happy to be alive, doesn't it? We can't let the sun outshine us! We have to beam, too!

Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

The summer night is 

like a perfection of thought.

Wallace Stevens 

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer.  My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music.  It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.  

Violette Leduc, Mad in Pursuit

A perfect summer day is when

 the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing,

 the birds are singing, 

and the lawn mower is broken.  

James Dent

In the depth of winter, I finally learned 

that within me there lay 

an invincible summer.

Albert Camus 

One swallow does not 

make a summer.

Aristotle 

There shall be eternal summer 

in the grateful heart.

Celia Thaxter

If a June night could talk,

it would probably boast it invented romance.  

Bern Williams

Summer set lip to earth's

bosom bare,

And left the flushed 

print in a poppy there.

Francis Thompson

To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, 

though never in a 

Book it lie -

True Poems flee.

Emily Dickinson 

Have a nice Summer...
