~ Night has become painful for me. It brings to light the regrets of the day. ~
~ In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time. ~
~ For the night shows stars and women in a better light. ~
~ How lovely are the portals of the night,
When stars come out to watch the daylight die. ~
~ We wake in the night, to stereophonic silence. ~
~ These blessed candles of the night. ~
~ She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman. ~
~ The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand. ~
~ Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway. ~
~ Night, like a giant, fills the church, from pavement to roof, and holds dominion through the silent hours. Pale dawn again comes peeping through the windows: and, giving place to day, sees night withdraw into the vaults, and follows it, and drives it out, and hides among the dead. ~
~ No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be. ~
~ Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings. ~
