Bright Dawn

Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or dawn:

    “Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
    Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
    May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
    And never but in unapproached Light
    Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
    Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
    Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
    Whose Fountain who shall tell?”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The dawn alps,
    the stilled snake of
    river asleep in its
    wide bed ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
