"Would you like summer? Taste of ours.
Spices? Buy here!
Ill! We have berries for the parching!
Weary! Forloughs of down!
Perplexed! Estates of violet trouble ne'er looked on!
Captive! We bring reprieve of roses!
Fainting! Flasks of air!
Even for Death, a fairy medicine.
But, which is it, sir?"
- Would you like summer? by Emily Dickinson, Modern Library edition.

Happy Solstice, Jane!
Happy summer to you and to all. And thanks to the creator of this poster - that famous, bashful artist "Anonymous."
