“Bright as the sun, her eyes the gazers strike,
And, like the sun, they shine on all alike.”
Alexander Pope The Rape of the Lock
Canto II, line 13.
The Rape of the Lock (1712, revised 1714 and 1717)
“When my daughter wakes up on her first morning in God's City of Zion, the sun will rise over Sierra Benida and shine upon the saints: the sun of the All-Wisdom; the sun of the Beehive, the Sego-lily, and Seagull... My son will understand that Egill Skallagrímsson and the Norse kings live here in Spanish Fork, but that they now have the gleam of righteousness in their eyes and have become leaders in the Stake, Seventies, and High Priests.”
