Lucky night

Consider also:

  1. “Let me be no more! Let me be Thine; let me be Thou; let me be neither Thou nor I; let there be love in night and night in love.”
  2. “Love, I love you! Night, night, cover us! Thou art night, O my love; and there are no stars but thine eyes.”
  3. “Night came upon me thus–a wizard hand Grasping with silence the reluctant land. Through night I clomb–behind me grew the light Reflected in the portal of the night. I reached the crest at dawn–pallid I stand, Uncomprehending of the sudden sight. The river and the bridge! The river flows, Tears of young orphans for its limpid woes. The red bridge quivers–how my spirit starts, Its seeming glory built of widows’ hearts! And yet I could disdain it–heaven knows I had no dear ones for their counterparts.
  4. “Dark night, sweet night, so warm and yet so fresh, so scented yet so holy, cover me, cover me!”
  5. “N.O.X. the night of Pan; and Laylah, the night before His threshold!”
