“Last summer I was staying at a house in Hampshire which was famous for the brilliance and the originality of its gardens. There were many of them, but the most beautiful of all was a walled garden in which every flower was blue. There were all the obvious things like delphiniums and acronitums and larkspurs, but the most beautiful blue of all came from the groups of cabbages - the ordinary blue pickling cabbage. Set against the blazing blue of the other flowers, it had a bloom and elegance which made it a thing of the greatest delight.” MadeLastsBeautifulHouseGroupsFlowerSummerOrdinaryGardenBlueObviousDelightMade ItStayingOriginalityEleganceBrillianceAugustBlazingCabbageHampshireObvious ThingsLast Summer Author:Beverley Nichols
“Decade after decade, artists came to paint the light of Provincetown, and comparisons were made to the lagoons of Venice and the marshes of Holland, but then the summer ended and most of the painters left, and the long dingy undergarment of the gray New England winter, gray as the spirit of my mood, came down to visit.” LongMadeLightSpiritArtistLeftSummerEnglandPaintWinterDecadesMoodPainterComparisonGrayVeniceNew EnglandHollandMarshesEnd Of SummerLagoonsUndergarmentsProvincetown Book:Tough Guys Don't Dance: A Novel Source: Tough Guys Don't Dance: A Novel
