The wind sounds like a silver wire, And from beyond the noon a fire Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher The skies stoop down in their desire And, isled in sudden seas of light, My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight, Bursts into blossom in his sight.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Half the night I waste in sighs, Half in dreams I sorrow after The delight of early skies In a wakeful dose I sorrow For the hand, the lips, the eyes, For the meeting of the morrow, The delight of happy laughter, The delight of low replies.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
O Love! they die in yon rich sky, They faint on hill or field or river: Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow forever and forever. Blow, bugle, blow! set the wild echoes flying! And answer, echoes, answer! dying, dying, dying.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, night, has flown Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone: And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the rose is blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves On a bed of daffodil sky.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
The sky is that beautiful old parchment in which the sun and the moon keep their diary.
Alfred Kreymborg
Image
You are the treasure custodian, cleaning the moon for me, scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright.
Lisa Loeb
Image
Wafted up, The stealing cloud with soft grey blinds the sky And in its vapory mantle onward steps The summer shower.
Alfred Billings Street
Image
Thy spirit, Independence, let me share! Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, nor heed the storm that howls along the sky.
Tobias Smollett
Image
Over our manhood bend the skies Against our fallen and traitor lives The great winds utter prophecies With our faint hearts the mountain strives, Its arms outstretched, the druid wood Waits with its benedicite And to our age’s drowsy blood Still shouts the inspiring sea.
James Russell Lowell
Image
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising
Alexandre Dumas
Image
I suppose there were moonless nights and dark ones with but a silver shaving and pale stars in the sky, but I remember them all as flooded with the rich indolence of a full moon.
Willa Cather
Image
There was only - spring itself, the throb of it, the light restlessness, the vital essence of it everywhere in the sky, in the swift clouds, in the pale sunshine, and in the warm high wind - rising suddenly, sinking suddenly, impulsive ... If I had been tossed down blindfold on that red prairie, I should have known that it was spring.
Willa Cather
Image
The summer moon hung full in the sky. For the time being it was the great fact of the world.
Willa Cather
Image
[Dawn] is always such a forgiving time. When that first cold, bright streak comes over the water, it's as if all our sins were pardoned as if the sky leaned over the earth and kissed it and gave it absolution.
Willa Cather
Image
It's here somewhere, I assured him. Please tell me you haven't lost it already. We did fall out of the sky, you know, I said indignantly. It's easy for things to go missing.
Alexandra Adornetto

I think the thing that impressed me the most was the Lunar's sunrises and sunsets. These in particular bring out the stark nature of the terrain. . . . The horizon here is very, very stark, the sky is pitch black and the earth, or the moon rather, excuse me, is quite light, and the contrast between the sky and the moon is a vivid dark line.
William Anders
Image
Do you ever look at the sky and think, I'm glad I'm alive? After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I'm actually alive to hear the shittiest band of all time. Which is quite something when you think about it. Of all the bands that have gone before and all the bands that'll be in the future, I was around when the worst was around.
Noel Gallagher
Image
Thou slanting rain! Thou Hebe of the Skies, That pours out drink to Earth thou faithful wife That with moist tears embraces her prone lord. Thou mist intensified thou double dew That drowns the drought, that heals the parched and burnt -- Thou resurrection rain.
William Batchelder Greene
Image
Not half so swift the trembling doves can fly, When the fierce eagle cleaves the liquid sky Not half so swiftly the fierce eagle moves, When thro' the clouds he drives the trembling doves.
Alexander Pope
Image
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
Alexander Pope
Image
All nature mourns, the skies relent in showers hushed are the birds, and closed the drooping flowers.
Alexander Pope
Image
Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.
Alexander Pope
Image
And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.
J. R. R. Tolkien
