Summer Heat Wave

Famous quotes containing the words summer, heat and/or wave:

    “We say ourselves fortunate to be driving by today.
    That we may look at them, in their gardens where
    The summer ripeness rots. But not raggedly.
    Even the leaves fall down in lovelier patterns here.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Even if you find yourself in a heated exchange with your toddler, it is better for your child to feel the heat rather than for him to feel you withdraw emotionally.... Active and emotional involvement between parent and child helps the child make the limits a part of himself.”
    —Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    “I hear
    the tide turning. Last
    eager wave over-
    taken and pulled back
    by first wave of the ebb.”
