Summer Solstice – Midsummer
Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 12:44 a.m.
One of the four solar holidays; the turning
point at which summer reaches its height and the sun shines longest.
“... those summer
evenings
which under the leaves
of the poplars‑
striped dun and ochre,
simmering over
the stashed‑up debris of
old seasons -
a swarm of wild bees is
making use of.”
History
