Summertime

"That beautiful season the Summer!
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

"To everything there is a season
and a time for every matter or
purpose under heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Vladimir Volegov 






"I know I am but summer to your heart,
And not the full four seasons of the year;
And you must welcome from another part
Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear.
No gracious weight of golden fruits to sell
Have I, nor any wise and wintry thing;
And I have loved you all too long and well
To carry still the high sweet breast of Spring.
Wherefore I say: O love, as summer goes,
I must be gone, steal forth with silent drums,
That you may hail anew the bird and rose
When I come back to you, as summer comes.
Else will you seek, at some not distant time,
Even your summer in another clime."
-  Edna St. Vincent Millay

"Summertime...and the livin' is easy..."
- George Gershwin

"Live in each season as it passes: 
breathe the air,
 drink the drink,
 taste the fruit."
–  Henry David Thoreau
