SUN QUOTES
quotations about the sun
The sun comes forth from his chambers to scatter the shades of night, inviting you to the renewal of your labors, adorning the face of nature, and as he advances to his meridian brightness, cherishing every herb and every flower that springeth from the bosom of the earth.

Bring me the sunset in a cup.
EMILY DICKINSON
"Bring me the sunset in a cup"
When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see, but something else had changed inside of me.

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

That lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
RAY CHARLES
"That Lucky Old Sun"
The ignorant savage frequently worships the sun as the god of his lower world; the astronomer, from a contemplation of its effects, rises to the source of all; the great mass of mankind, however, whether Christians, Jews, Mahometans, or Pagans, enjoy his splendor and his warmth, without troubling themselves about the substance of which he is composed.

What were all the realms of this world but a dungeon of darkness without the beams of the sun?
G. W. HERVEY
attributed, The Saturday Magazine, October 5, 1844
The sun, in a single moment and with the immediate summons of a trumpet-call, strikes the spear-head of the high places, and at once the valley, though still in shadow, is transfigured, and with the daylight all manner of things have come back to the world.

The sun was like a word written between the sea and the sky, a word that was swallowed up by the sea before any man had time to read it.

I had me a vision
There wasn't any television
From looking into the sun
Looking into the sun

Won't you come (Won't you come)
