~ Night Things ~

"'Lo! Where the moon along the sky
Sails with her happy destiny;
Oft is she hid from mortal eye
Or dimly seen,
But when the clouds asunder fly
How bright her mien!"
~William Wordsworth, A Night Thought
|
Art by Leola Goldsmith Walker |
"Good-night? Ah! No; the hour is ill
Which severs those it should unite;
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be a good night."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, Good-night

Art by Robin Jayne |
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of light."
~Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

"The moon, like a flower
In heaven's bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night."
~William Blake, Night
|
Art by Tammy Gulat |
"When biting Boreas, fell and doure,
Sharp shivers thro' the leafless bow'r,
When Phoebus gies a short-liv'd glow'r,
Far south the lift,
Dim-darkening thro' the flaky show'r,
Or whirling drift"
~Robert Burns, A Winter Night
|
Artwork by Leola Goldsmith Walker |
"For weeks the children waited for that night of Halloween,
Gathering all that they could find for the bone fire, flaming gleam."
~Mai Venn, Halloween Night
|
Art by Tatiana Volokhova |
"Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt - marvelous error!-
that a fiery sun was giving
light inside my heart."
~Antonio Machado, Last Night as I was Sleeping

Artwork by Robin Jayne |
"Alone, alone cradled by the sea
That lies there, cold and silent
With a thousand lights."
~Herman Hesse, At Night on the High Seas

Art by Leola Goldsmith Walker |
"Lifting my head
I watch the bright moon,
Lowering my head
I dream that I'm home.
~Li Po, Quiet Night Thoughts

"Night-night moon,
Night-night stars
Night-night noisy
Trucks and cars."
~C. J. Heck, Night-Night

"There is no cure quite like for the dour,
Than clean pajamas post-long-hot-shower."
~Josh Coyle, Hot Shower Clean Pajamas

"Spirit of the night!
Out of the misty eastern cave,
Where all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear
Which make thee terrible and dear--
Swift be thy flight!"
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, To Night
