Famous quotes containing the words shooting and/or summer:
“Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting stars attend thee;”

“I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.”
