Night Master

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or master:

    Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.
    Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    Such thought such though have I that hold it tight
    Till meditation master all its parts,
    Nothing can stay my glance
    Until that glance run in the world’s despite
    To where the damned have howled away their hearts,
    And where the blessed dance....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
