SUMMER IN SAWYERVILLE, 2014
Again, 3 parts.

But see, the shepherds shun the noonday heat,
The lowing herds to murmuring brooks retreat,
To closer shades the panting flocks remove;
Ye gods! and is there no relief for love? 

                -Alexander Pope

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
                             -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow





     Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language.   -Henry James
