Quote of the Day (James Thomson, to God, Praising Summer)

“Then comes Thy glory in the summer months,
With light and heart refulgent. Then Thy sun
Shoots full perfection thro' the swelling year;
And of Thy voice in dreadful thunder speaks--
And oft at dawn, deep noon, or falling eve,
By brooks and groves, in hollow-whisp'ring gales.”—James Thomson (1700-1748), from The Seasons (1744)



I took the accompanying image recently at Englewood’s Flat Rock Brook Nature Center.
