quotations about morning
The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!
EMILY DICKINSON
"A Tempest"
The morning hour has gold in its mouth.
CHILO
attributed, Day's Collacon
The grey-ey'd morn smiles on the frowning night,
Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Romeo and Juliet
She says you're not awake until you're actually out of bed and standing up.
RICHELLE MEAD
Blood Promise
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. WELLS
The Time Machine
I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!"
STEVE MARABOLI
Unapologetically You
I have always disliked the morning, it is too responsible a time, with the daylight demanding that it be 'faced' and (usually when I wake for I wake late) with the sun already up and in charge of the world, with little hope of anyone usurping or challenging its authority. A shot of light in the face of a poor waking human being and another slave limps wounded into the light-occupied territory.
JANET FRAME
Daughter Buffalo
Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. We have it entirely in our own hands. And when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterdays should be yesterdays, with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient is it to know that the way we lived our yesterday has determined for us our today.
RALPH WALDO TRINE
In Tune With the Infinite
An end is come, the end is come, the morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land; behold the day, the morning is gone forth.
BIBLE
Ezekiel 7:6-7
The meek-eyed Morn appears, mother of Dews.
JAMES THOMSON
"Summer", The Seasons
Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest birds.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.
GLEN COOK
Sweet Silver Blues
Morning is like the tide coming in, washing over the debris of half-finished lives and presenting once again, for this day at least, new opportunities for holiness. It is a kind of sacrament -- a means of grace, if you will -- and like all means of grace, it really does deliver what it promises.
IAN STACKHOUSE
The Day Is Yours
It is only in the morning that one should marry, read unfavourable reviews, make one's will, beat one's servants, and so forth.
E. T. A. HOFFMANN
"Princess Brambilla", The Golden Pot and Other Tales
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"
One may be alive in the morning,
Then dead at night,
Changing worlds in an instant,
We are like the spring frost,
Like the morning dew
Suddenly gone.
GUISHAN LINGYOU
attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing
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
Does not the morn break thus,
Swift, bright, victorious.
EMMA LAZARUS
"Matins"
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"
Early morning does not mince words.
JOHN GALSWORTHY
The Forsyte Saga
