“Awake,
Voice of sweet song! awake, my heart, awake!
Green vales and icy cliffs, all join my hymn.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) English poet, literary critic and philosopher
"Hymn in the Vale of Chamouni" (1802)
Context: Awake, my soul! not only passive praise
Thou owest! not alone these swelling tears,
Mute thanks and secret ecstasy. Awake,
Voice of sweet song! awake, my heart, awake!
Green vales and icy cliffs, all join my hymn.
“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.”
Claude Monet (1840–1926) French impressionist painter
“And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers
Is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.”
Thomas Moore (1779–1852) Irish poet, singer and songwriter
Oh think not my Spirits are always as light.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
