Night Vigil

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or vigil:

“Chance does not speak essentially through words nor can it be seen in their convolution. It is the eruption of language, its sudden appearance.... It’s not a night atwinkle with stars, an illuminated sleep, nor a drowsy vigil. It is the very edge of consciousness.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

“He that shall see this day and live old age
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors
And say, “Tomorrow is Saint Crispian.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
