June Quotes

"And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it solftly, her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten"
- James Russell Lowell

No Price is set on the lavish summer, June may be had by the poorest comer.
- James Russell Lowell
