Famous quotes containing the word eastern:

    “The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
    Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.”

    “The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
    The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
    The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
    Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
    Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
    O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    As Eastern Summers are,
    Must now, forsaking Time and Flesh,
    Add light to some small Star.”
