The Elders Speak

On Heat and Hot Weather

dividerr

Heat, ma'am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.
Sydney Smith, Lady Holland's Memoir

What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.
Jane Austen

On a brutally hot and humid summer day, one on which the sun feels as if it has been dipped in lye, the air so thick it's drinkable, and your body feels like freshly melted lead, all I have to do is get into a swimming pool and stand up to my neck in cold water, ice down the brain stem to feel rejuvenated.
Diane Ackerman

Hot town, summer In the city,.
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty,...
All around people looking half dead
Walking down the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead.
The Lovin' Spoonful Summer In The City

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?
Steve Wright

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
Russell Baker

It's a sure sign of summer if the chair gets up when you do.
Walter Winchell

Rainless days of heavy heat have scorched the grass of the hillside to a toasted yellow.
Edwin Way TealeThe Circle of the Seasons
