Nightly

Famous quotes containing the word nightly:

    Nor even thy virtues, tyrant, shall avail
    To save thy secret soul from nightly fears,
    From Cambria’s curse, from Cambria’s tears!’
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Little do such men know the toil, the pains,
    The daily, nightly racking of the brains,
    To range the thoughts, the matter to digest,
    To cull fit phrases, and reject the rest.
    Charles Churchill (1731–1764)

    Mee of these
    Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
    Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
    That name, unless an age too late, or cold
    Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
    Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
    Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
