Night Vigil

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or vigil:

    “Were I laid on Greenland’s Coast,
    And in my Arms embrac’d my Lass;
    Warm amidst eternal Frost,
    Too soon the Half Year’s Night would pass.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “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)
