“Coming in with the golden light
In the morning.
Coming in with the golden light
Is the New Man.”
Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
“It comes, it comes!' they sang. 'Sleepers awake! It comes, it comes, it comes.' One dreadful glance over my shoulder I essayed — not long enough to see (or did I see?) the rim of the sunrise that shoots Time dead with golden arrows and puts to flight all phantasmal shapes. Screaming, I buried my face in the fold of the Teacher's robe. 'The morning! The morning!”
— Clive Staples Lewis, book The Great Divorce

Louis Riel (1844–1885) Canadian politician
Address on sentencing (1885)
Context: I am contradicted at this moment on politics, and the smile that comes to my face is not an act of my will, so much it comes naturally, from the satisfaction that I prove that I experience seeing one of my difficulties disappearing. Should I be executed, at least if I were going to be executed, I would not be executed as an insane man, it would be a great consolation for my mother, for my wife, for my children, for my brothers, for my relatives, even for my protectors, for my countrymen. I thank the gentlemen who were composing the Jury for having recommended me to the clemency of the Court. When I express the great hope that I have just expressed to you, I don't express it without ground, my hopes are reasonable, and since they are recommended, since the recommendation of the Jury to the Crown is for clemency.
“Come, let us mount on the wings of the morning,
Flying for joy of the flight”
Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) American feminist, poet, author, and activist
Dryad Song (1900)
Context: Come, let us mount on the wings of the morning,
Flying for joy of the flight,
Wild with all longing, now soaring, now staying,
Mingling like day and dawn, swinging and swaying,
Hung like a cloud in the light:
I am immortal! I feel it! I feel it!
Love bears me up, love is might!
Mikhail Kalashnikov (1919–2013) Soviet and Russian small arms designer
For Patriotism and Profit (2001)
“Come on over tonight. Come on over this morning. Momma says, “You only fall in love once.””

House of Incest (1936)
Context: The morning I got up to begin this book I coughed. Something was coming out of my throat: it was strangling me. I broke the thread which held it and yanked it out. I went back to bed and said: I have just spat out my heart.
