An online commonplace book

Summer at the river bank. Kenneth Graham sets the scene for chapter 7 of the Wind in the Willows

Though it was past ten o’ clock at night, the sky still clung to and retained some lingering skirts of light from the departed day; and the sullen heats of the torrid afternoon broke up and rolled away at the dispersing touch of the cool fingers of the short midsummer night.

– Kenneth Grahame

BAM! Kenneth Grahame dropping you right into summer!
