Even so, I’m somebody.

Because I bring the Universe to itself.

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage, Junk Journal, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Victorian Ladies in Summer Wear, 1893

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.
― Edna St. Vincent Millay

The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer,
the top of the live-long year,
like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.
The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring,
and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn,
but the first week of August is motionless, and hot.
It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons,
and sunsets smeared with too much color.
― Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting

Free Printable Vintage Art: Crossing the Lotus Lily Pond by Francis Coates Jones

Crossing the Lotus Lily Pond, 19th century
by Francis Coates Jones (1857–1932)

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me;
I am a free human being with an independent will.
― Charlotte Brontë

Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth,
it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does.
It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing.
It is addictive and with each drink you want more.
― Maya Angelou
