Famous quotes containing the word june:

    “In June the bush we call
    alder was heavy, listless,
    its leaves studded with galls,
    growing wherever we didn’t
    want it.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “It’s June in January because I’m in love.”
    —Leo Robin (1900–1984)

    “Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
