quotations about summer
Slow comes the death of a dream painted in summer's night.
DAN SEERING
Summer's Gone: Lyrics and Poems of a Lifetime
Research revealed most of us start the summer with good intentions, with three quarters aiming to make the very most of it. But the average person will enjoy just half of the activities they'd hoped to do over the summer months, with work, weather and lack of money among the most common obstacles. And that will mean two thirds look back on the summer with regret -- wishing they'd done lots more.

Summer is the noontide of nature.
W. G. CLARK
attributed, Day's Collacon
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
ALICE COOPER
"School's Out"
If it could only be like this always -- always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe.
EVELYN WAUGH
Brideshead Revisited
Summer is the season in which the Creator pours forth the treasures of His blessing in the greatest abundance.
CHRISTOPH CHRISTIAN STURM
attributed, Day's Collacon
Surely 't is better, when summer is over
To die when all fair things are fading away.
THOMAS HAYNES BAYLY
I'd Be a Butterfly
A man says a lot of things in summer he doesn't mean in winter.
PATRICIA BRIGGS
Dragon Blood
The Summer-time will come again
To kiss the brow of dying Spring,
And, with the south wind's low refrain,
A choral requiem will she sing.
HENRY ABBEY
"Leah"
It was summer time,
And summer laid its glory on the sea
And lit the gorgeous shores that hemmed us up
And locked us in enchantment.
