“Wild nights are my glory!”

“Dying is a wild night and a new road.”

“My specter around me night and day
Like a wild beast guards my way,
My emanation far within
Weeps incessantly for my sin.”

“The glory of the day was in her face,
The beauty of the night was in her eyes.”

“And the nights, bigger than imagining: black and gusty and enormous, disordered and wild with stars.”

“Glory of earth, and light from heaven,
Young Genius! but for thee,
And the wild wonders to thee given,
How base our earth would be!”

“Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.”

“The evening darkens over
After a day so bright,
The windcapt waves discover
That wild will be the night.”

“With no rest of the night; for I waked mid a story
Of a land wherein Love is the light and the lord,
Where my tale shall be heard, and my wounds gain a glory,
And my tears be a treasure to add to the hoard
Of pleasure laid up for his people's reward.”

“Oh! how many actions, how many fabulous exploits
Remain without glory in the midst of the night.”
