Dante Alighieri1 quote
With the color that paints the morning and evening clouds that face the sun I saw then the whole heaven suffused. — Dante Alighieri · 1321John Milton1 quote
So sinks the day-star in the Ocean bed,
And yet anon repairs his drooping head,
And tricks his beams, and with new spangled Ore,
Flames in the forehead of the morning sky. — John Milton · 1638William Shakespeare1 quote
The setting sun, and the music at the close,
As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last,
Writ in remembrance more than things long past. — William Shakespeare · 1595
