You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain. You're the National Gallery; you're Garbo's Salary; you're cellophane!
--
Cole Porter, "You're the Top" from Anything Goes (1934)Greta Garbo
The light would reach us more quickly in the morning and fade more slowly at night if the whole earth were divided into vast flower beds that called forth the light at dawn and clutched it longer at nightfall. Nature instituted summer for flowers long before man took summer over for his own uses.
Malcolm de Chazal
At one point Trudeau mentioned to me that the National Gallery wanted to buy a masterpiece by the great Italian painter Lotto, and it needed a million dollars from the Treasury Board. "Is that Lotto-Quebec or Lotto-Canada?" I joked, but I got the message, and the National Gallery got the painting.
Jean Chretien
There was a young man with a salary,
Who had to do drawings for Malory;
When they asked him for more,
He replied, 'Why? Sure
You've enough as it is for a gallery.'Aubrey Beardsley
Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light —
Good-night, dear heart, good-night, good-night.Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
