Brown Summer Coat

Famous quotes containing the words brown, summer and/or coat:

    “The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “‘Twas a balmy summer evening, and a goodly crowd was there.
    Which well-nigh filled Joe’s barroom on the corner of the square,”
    —Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    “Prepare your silken coat before it rains, and don’t wait until you are thirsty to dig a well.”
    —Chinese proverb.
