Deanna Raybourn Quotes

Is There Any Finer Phrase In The English Language Than Midsummer Day? There Are No Words To Touch It For Conjuring. It Is The Beginning Of Blooming Roses And Ripening Corn, Of Days That Stretch On, Reaching For Midnight Until The Spangled Blue Velvet Of Night Descends And Beginning Again Before Cockcrow, When The Dew Jewels The Grass Like Diamonds Scattered While The Earth Slumbers. I, Of Course, Expected Rain. Not Just Rain, But Torrential, Heaving, Biblical Rain - The Sort To Set Arks Afloat. Everything Else Had Gone Awry, Why Not That? But When I Awoke On Midsummer Day, The Sun Greeted Me Cordially, Coaxing The Dew From The Grass And The Early Roses As A Light Breeze Wafted The Scent Of Charred Chimney Over The Gardens. I Stood At The Window And Breathed In Deeply All The Scents Of Summer, Fresh Grass And Carp Ponds And Blossoming Herb Knots Until The Whole Of It Mingled In My Head And Made Me Dizzy. A Bee Floated Lazily In The Window And Out Again As If Beckoning Me To Follow.
