quotations about morning
Bring me the sunset in a cup,
Reckon the morning's flagons up,
And say how many dew;
Tell me how far the morning leaps,
Tell me what time the weaver sleeps
Who spun the breadths of blue.
EMILY DICKINSON
"Problems"
Will't ne'er be morning? Will that promis'd light
Ne'er break, and clear those clouds of night?
Sweet Phosphor, bring the day,
Whose conqu'ring ray
May chase these fogs.
FRANCIS QUARLES
Emblems
Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird.
Praise for the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!
ELEANOR FARJEON
"Morning Has Broken"
The dusk drew earlier in,
The morning foreign shone--
A courteous, yet harrowing grace,
As guest who would be gone.
EMILY DICKINSON
"As imperceptibly as grief"
Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
Walden
Morning will find us curled beside the graves
we dug, without strength to roll ourselves in.
CALVIN BEDIENT
"Modern Love", The Violence of the Morning: Poems
Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.
DANIEL HANDLER
as Lemony Snicket, The Blank Book
But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Hamlet
Morning is the night of the stars, when they close their eyelids in sleep.
IBN DARRAJ
attributed, Day's Collacon
But the morning is a time for exultant expressions, for then the soul awakens with all nature and rises in rapturous praise over blessings which it is our daily lot to enjoy.
J. M. H.
"Morning Meditations", The Bay View Magazine, Volume 17
Dawn of a brighter, whiter day
Than ever blessed us with its ray--
A dawn beneath whose purer light all guilt and wrong shall fade away.
ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN
"Spring at the Capital"
Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out night's gray and cloudy sheath;
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.
SUSAN COOLIDGE
The Morning Comes Before the Sun
In the morning I woke like a sloth in the fog.
