"Do you always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it."
- Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby
"Perge modo et qua te ducit via dirige gressum," said Venus to Aeneas.
We had our HNY Summer Solstice class last night, so I did not miss it.
ReplyDeleteThe next morning,
ReplyDeleteI was in my new friend's closet-
fully as large as my bedroom
and with a higher ceiling-
where I admired the yards and yards
of striped and patterned
Etro, Ted Baker, and Paul Smith shirts.
"Stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral
and apple green!" I enthused.
"They'd make Daisy Buchanan cry!"
He didn't get it.
