And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Summary

This quote, by William Shakespeare in his Sonnet 18, suggests that summer, with all its beauty and warmth, comes to an end too quickly. It highlights the fleeting nature of the season, emphasizing how summer's lease, or its allotted time, is disappointingly short. Shakespeare uses this metaphor to capture the essence of transience and the longing for time to cease passing so swiftly, preserving the joy and bliss associated with summer.
