sunrise quotes

    -William Blake
      MS Notebooks, p.105.

  •    All things they have in common, being so poor, And their one fear, Death's shadow at the door. Each sundown makes them mournful, each sunrise Brings back the brightness in their failing eyes.

    - Edmund Charles Blunden
      'Almswomen'.

  • Let there be light! Said Liberty, And like sunrise from the sea, Athens arose!

    - Percy Bysshe Shelley
