Philip James Bailey Night Quotations

Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity.

Wan night, the shadow goer, came stepping in.

When night hath set her silver lamp high, Then is the time for study.

Dewdrops, Nature's tears, which she Sheds in her own breast for the fair which die. The sun insists on gladness; but at night, When he is gone, poor Nature loves to weep.

Mind and night will meet, though in silence, like forbidden lovers.

Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us truths.
