Night Vigil

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or vigil:

“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”

“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)
