Famous quotes containing the words summer, night and/or city:
“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Where is the nightingale,
in what myrrh-wood and dim?
ah, let the night come back,
for we would conjure back
all that enchanted him,
all that enchanted him.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Man will return to his origins. Goethe has finally become as squiggly as the city of his fathers.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
