“The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.

Maybe we shouldn’t (or maybe we should?) judge Jung based on today’s set of standards, but he seemed pretty misogynistic. So, not really a fan. That said, I like this plucked quote, though.
