Famous quotes containing the words night and/or vigil:

“The day in his hotness,
The strife with the palm;
The night in her silence,
The stars in their calm . . .”

“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.””
