Night Vigil

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or vigil:

    “The night is of the color
    Of a woman’s arm:
    Night, the female,
    Obscure,
    Fragrant and supple,
    Conceals herself.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “This day is called the Feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day and comes safe home
    Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is nam’d
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours
    And say, “Tomorrow is Saint Crispian.””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
