Anna Letitia Barbauld, A Summer Evening's Meditation
Is there notA tongue in every star that talks with man,And wooes him to be wise? nor wooes in vain;This dead of midnight is the noon of thought,And wisdom mounts her zenith with the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin
Night is a world lit by itself.
Bernard Joseph Saurin, Blanche et Guiscard, translated

Night's black Mantle covers all alike.

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline
Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Hyperion
Day, like a weary pilgrim, had reached the western gate of heaven, and Evening stooped down to unloose the latchets of his sandal shoon.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Done
And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs And as silently steal away.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Two Rivers
Midnight! the outpost of advancing day!The frontier town and citadel of night!
J.M. Barrie, Little Minister
A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night.
James Russell Lowell, Midnight
O wild and wondrous midnight,There is a might in theeTo make the charmed bodyAlmost like spirit be,And give it some faint glimpsesOf immortality.
