sunbeam
Like the hand which ends a dream,
Death, with the might of his sunbeam,
Touches the flesh and the soul awakes. [ Browning ]

'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower;
A watery ray an instant seen,
The darkly closing clouds between. [ Scott ]
What is joy? A sunbeam between two clouds. [ Madame Deluzy ]

[ Professor Robinson ]
The invention of printing added a new element of power to the race. From that hour, in a most especial sense, the brain and not the arm, the thinker and not the soldier, books and not kings, were to rule the world; and weapons, forged in the mind, keen-edged and brighter than the sunbeam, were to supplant the sword and the battle-axe. [ Whipple ]
