Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker
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 Jekyll
If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance. ~
Bern Williams
To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.

The summer night is like a perfection of thought. ~
Wallace Stevens
In summer, the song sings itself. ~

Summer has set in with its usual severity. ~
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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. ~

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~
Ada Louise Huxtable
Summer's filled with breaking the rules, standing apart, ignoring your head, and following your heart. ~

What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days. ~
James Russell Lowell
Who has not dreamed a world of bliss on a bright, sunny noon like this? ~
William Howitt
Summer time an' the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high. Oh, yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma' is good-lookin', So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry. ~
Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward
The summer dawn's reflected hue
To purple changed Lock Katrine blue,
Mildly and soft the western breeze
Just kiss'd the lake, just stirr'd the trees,
And the pleased lake, like maiden coy,
Trembled but dimpled not for joy.
~
Sir Walter Scott
No price is set on the lavish summer;
June may be had by the poorest comer.
~
James Russell Lowell
Beauty sat with me all the summer day,
Awaiting the sure triumph of her eye:
Nor mark'd I till we parted, how, hard by,
Love in her train stood ready for his prey
~
Robert Seymour Bridges
Warm summer sun, shine kindly here:
Warm summer wind, blow softly here:
Green sod above lie light, lie light:
Good night, Dear Heart: good night, good night.
~

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains... ~

The summer morn is bright and fresh, the birds are darting by
As if they loved to breast the breeze that sweeps the cool clear sky.
~

People take pictures of the Summer, just in case someone thought they had missed it, and to prove that it really existed. ~

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? ~
William Shakespeare
How sweet I roamed from field to field, and tasted all the summer's pride. ~
William Blake
But thy eternal summer shall not fade ~
William Shakespeare
