Vita Sackville-West Quotes About Summer

Quotes about: Summer

• It always seemed to me that the herbaceous peony is the very epitome of June. Larger than any rose,
  it has something of the cabbage rose's voluminous quality; and when it finally drops from the vase, it
  sheds its petticoats with a bump on the table, all in an intact heap, much as a rose will suddenly fall,
  making us look up from our book or conversation, to notice for one moment the death of what had
  still appeared to be a living beauty.

  Vita Sackville-West

  Vita Sackville-West

• I loved you when love was Spring, and May, Loved you when summer deepened into June, and now when autumn yellows all the leaves.

  Vita Sackville-West

  Love, Summer, Spring

• It is a sad moment when the first phlox appears. It is the amber light indicating the end of the great burst of early summer and suggesting that we must now start looking forward to autumn. Not that I have any objection to autumn as a season, full of its own beauty; but I just cannot bear to see another summer go, and I recoil from what the first hint of autumn means.

  Vita Sackville-West

  Summer, Mean, Autumn
