And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby
So my summer jam. #cantstoplistening

Like the old phoenix which, the more it got
Burnt up, (recycling its own stuff, no doubt,
For it did not burn down) the more it grew—
Although no fire consumes us, we burn with what
Only the fire of doing can put out
As part of me turns into part of you.—John Hollander, “A Mutual Flame”
