Sayings about Summertime |

Summer is a moving creature and likes to go south for the winter.
Terry Pratchett
Feet of Clay.
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
Sonnet 18.
In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was in
me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always
been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
Henry James
In summer, the song sings itself.

Just sleeping, thinking and hanging around.

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like
it.
Russell Baker
If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented
romance
Bern Williams
Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Summer Sun.
This is very midsummer madness.
William Shakespeare
Twelfth Night.
Catch, then, oh catch the transient hour;
Improve each moment as it flies!
Life's a short summer, man a flower;
He dies - alas! how soon he dies!
Samuel Johnson
I question not if thrushes sing,
If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.
John Vance Cheney
The butterfly
Floats in upon the sunbeam, and the fair
Tanned face of June, the nomad gipsy, laughs
Above her widespread wares, the while she tells
The farmer's fortunes in the fields, and quaffs
The water from the spider-peopled wells.
The hedges are all drowned in green grass seas,
And bobbing poppies flare like Elmo's light,
While siren-like the pollen-stained bees
Drone in the clover depths. And up the height
The cuckoo's voice is hoarse and broke with joy.
Francis Ledwidge
June.
To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
Emily Dickinson
Dirty hands, iced tea, garden fragrances thick in the air
and a blanket of color before me, who could ask for more?
Bev Adams
One swallow does not make a summer.
Proverb
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.
Sam Keen
A life without love is like a year without summer.
Swedish Proverb
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
Then followed that beautiful season,
Called by the pious Acadian peasants the Summer of All-Saints!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the
landscape
Lay as if new-created in all the freshness of childhood.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Evangeline.
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
School's out for summer
School's out forever.
Alice Cooper
From his song, School's Out.
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo.
Beach Boys
From their song, Kokomo.
From the park you'll hear
The happy sound of a carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they sell.
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be.
Kenny Young and Arthur Resnick
From song Under the Boardwalk, recorded
by The Drifters. |
