Summer Palaces

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or palaces:

“So summer comes in the end to these few stains
And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.
The house is empty. But here is where she sat
To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,
Perplexed by its darker iridescences.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Heaven is in the hut of my beloved.
Set the palaces on fire.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
