“Yet would we die as some have done, beating a way for the rising sun.”
Arna Bontemps
“Fair daffodils, we weep to see / You haste away so soon: / As yet the early-rising sun / Has not attained his noon.”
Robert Herrick
“No matter how dark the night, somehow the sun rises once again and all shadows are chased away”
David Matthew Click
“For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?”
Kahlil Gibran
“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?”
“Watching the sun rise over the ocean is making it easy for me to wake up and get out of bed. I'm not jumping up to take a shower or go to work. I'm jumping up to greet the majesty of the day, of God, of me. The majesty reminds me that God's in his heaven ... and so am I. And, heaven is a lovely place to start the day, a lovely place to live.”
Jan Denise
“Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.”
Washington Irving
