Thomas Wentworth Higginson Quotes
In our methodical American life, we still recognize some magic in summer. Most persons at least resign themselves to being decently happy in June. They accept June. They compliment its weather.

God offers us yearly a necklace of twelve pearls; most men choose the fairest, label it June, and cast the rest away.
