-- Vladimer Nabokov
There's never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same.
-- Carlos Santana
What breaks in daybreak? Is it the night? Is it the sun, cracked in two by the horizon like an egg, spilling out light?
-- Margaret Atwood
Oh the road to Mandalay
Where the flyin'-fishes play
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer
China 'crost the Bay!
-- Rudyard Kipling, Mandalay
She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down
And rest your gentle head upon her lap,
And she will sing the song that pleaseth you
And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep,
Charming your brood with pleasing heaviness,
Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep
As is the difference betwixt day and night
The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team
Begins his golden progress in the east.
-- William Shakespeare,
King Henry the Fourth, Part I
(Glendower at III, i)
