quotations about summer
Every shady grove in summer is to a man a holy temple, where his God moves nearer to him; every green sod an altar, where he kneels before the Lofty One.

What many people don't realize is that summer is the perfect time to add exercise into their lives. Longer daylight hours, less rigid work schedules and fewer child care demands mean you have time to establish an exercise routine that fits your work-life balance and can keep you toned not only during the summer, but also throughout the year.
NEMIAH RUTLEDGE
"Summer is the season to kickstart your exercise routine", Ponte Vedra Recorder, July 5, 2017
Well shut them books and throw em away
Say goodbye to dull school days
So come on and change your ways
It's summertime...
THE JAMIES
"Summertime, Summertime"
That's why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe.
BENJAMIN ALIRE SAENZ
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
From brightening fields of ether fair-disclosed,
Child of the Sun, refulgent Summer comes,
In pride of youth, and felt through Nature's depth;
He comes, attended by the sultry Hours,
And ever-fanning breezes, on his way.
JAMES THOMSON
"Summer", The Seasons
School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
A back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
Riding around in your jeep or your benzos
Or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos
Back in Philly we be ou in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turn around to see what you beeping at
It's like the summers a natural afradesiac
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
WILL SMITH
"Summertime", Homebase
O summer day beside the joyous sea!
O summer day so wonderful and white,
So full of gladness and so full of pain!
Forever and forever shalt thou be
To some the gravestone of a dead delight,
To some the landmark of a new domain.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
"A Summer Day by the Sea"
Summer is the noontide of nature.
W. G. CLARK

Summer's one redeeming quality is the Fourth of July, which is great only because explosions are awesome. But now that Independence Day has come and gone, there's nothing good left of summer -- just another two months of misery and blech.
REX HUPPKE
"The Unbearable Dreadfulness of Summer", Chicago Tribune, July 5, 2017
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
After mowing the lawn or pulling weeds or putting clothes on the clothesline when it's hot, summer hot, unscrewing the hose from a sprinkler and taking big gulp from that hose? There's nothing like it. You can feel the water go all the way down to your tummy, cooling every inch and if you're really hot you take that same hose and water your face, too. It's a summer event that's not to be missed.
TRINA MACHACEK
"Is This You? Drinking in Summer", Nevada Appeal, July 7, 2017
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
The Great Gatsby
Summertime is finally here ...
And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime
KENNY CHESNEY
"Summertime"
If it could only be like this always -- always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe.
EVELYN WAUGH
Brideshead Revisited
Summer afternoon--summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
HENRY JAMES
attributed, A Backward Glance
Slow comes the death of a dream painted in summer's night.
DAN SEERING
Summer's Gone: Lyrics and Poems of a Lifetime
In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
MUNGO JERRY
"In the Summertime"
We see the clouds of summer go and come,
And thirsty verdure praying them to give:
We cry, "O Nature, tell us why we live!"
She smiles with beauty, but her lips are dumb.
HENRY ABBEY
"While the Days Go By"
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"
Though summer is gone, and hath parted
Enjoyment's gay scene like its beam,
Though memory's left lonely hearted
To hang on its joy shadow'd gleam;
Which though every day passes over,
And dims with the stillness of night,
Yet the soul's watchful gaze can discover
THe trace of its meteor left light.
OSCAR
