=Night.=

Dark night, that from the eye his function takes,
The ear more quick of apprehension makes.

SHAKS.: _Mid. N. Dream,_ Act iii., Sc. 2.

Now began
Night with her sullen wing to double-shade
The desert; fowls in their clay nests were couch'd,
And now wild beasts came forth, the woods to roam.

MILTON: _Par. Regained,_ Bk. i., Line 409.

Awful Night!
Ancestral mystery of mysteries.

GEORGE ELIOT: _Spanish Gypsy,_ Bk. iv.

Night, night it is, night upon the palms.
Night, night it is, the land wind has blown.
Starry, starry night, over deep and height;
Love, love in the valley, love all alone.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: _The Feast of Famine._

Night is the time to weep,
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory where sleep
The joys of other years.

JAMES MONTGOMERY: _The Issues of Life and Death._
