There is no relying on a starry sky. [ Proverb ]
The silence that is in the starry sky. [ Wordsworth ]
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies. [ Byron, She Walks in Beauty ]
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops
Of the snow-shining mountains - Beautiful!
I linger yet with nature, for the night
Hath been to me a more familiar face
Than that of man; and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness,
I learned the language of another world. [ Byron ]
No date prefixed directs me in the starry rubric set. [ Milton ]
In her starry shade of dim and solitary loveliness, I learn the language of another world. [ Byron ]
Two things strike me dumb: the infinite starry heavens, and the sense of right and wrong in man. [ Kant ]
The two most beautiful things in the universe are the starry heavens above us and the feeling of duty within us. [ An Indian sage ]
Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences? [ Sir Walter Scott ]
Magnificence is likewise a source of the sublime. A great profusion of things which are splendid or valuable in themselves is magnificent. The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur. [ Burke ]
Who can fathom the depth of a mother's love! No friendship so pure, so devoted; the wild storm of adversity and the bright sunshine of prosperity are all alike to her; however unworthy we may be of that affection, a mother never ceases to love her erring child. Often, when alone, as we gaze up to the starry heaven, can we in imagination catch a glimpse of the angels around the great white throne,
and among the brightest and fairest of them all is our sweet mother, ever beckoning us onward and upward to her celestial home. [ R. Smith ]
