Famous quotes containing the words stars and/or summer:

    “Nights, I squat in the cornucopia
    Of your left ear, out of the wind,

    Counting the red stars and those of plum-color.
    The sun rises under the pillar of your tongue.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “My mother, who hates thunderstorms,
    Holds up each summer day and shakes
    It out suspiciously, lest swarms
    Of grape-dark clouds are lurking there....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
