Summer Heat Wave

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

“When I was a bachelor, I lived by myself
And I worked at the weaver’s trade;
The only, only, thing that I ever did wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid.
I wooed her in the winter time,
And in the summer too;
And the only, only thing that I ever did wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew.”
—Unknown. The Foggy, Foggy Dew (l. 1–8)

“Friendship is evanescent in every man’s experience, and remembered like heat lightning in past summers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I hear
the tide turning. Last
eager wave over-
taken and pulled back
by first wave of the ebb.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
