And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. 

~ Sam Keen

 By all these lovely tokens September days are here,

With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer.

~ Helen Hunt Jackson

The door was shut, as doors should be,
Before you went to bed last night;
Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see,
And left your window silver white.

~ Gabriel Setoun
