Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or sun:
““Summer, you are the eucharist of death;
Partake of you and never again
Will midnight foot it steeply into dawn,
Dawn veer into day,
Nor the praised schism be of year split off year....””
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Black pit cold and light-year
Flame tongue of the dragon
Licks the sun
The sun is but a morning star”
