SUN QUOTES II
quotations about the sun
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains call us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
JOHN DONNE
The Sun Rising
Although the semicircle of the Moon is placed above the circle of the Sun and would appear to be superior, nevertheless we know that the Sun is ruler and King. We see that the Moon in her shape and her proximity rivals the Sun with her grandeur, which is apparent to ordinary men, yet the face, or a semi-sphere of the Moon, always reflects the light of the Sun.
JOHN DEE
Monas Hieroglyphica
Blest power of sunshine!--genial day,
What balm, what life is in thy ray!
To feel there is such real bliss,
That had the world no joy but this,
To sit in sunshine calm and sweet,--
It were a world too exquisite
For man to leave it for the gloom,
The deep, cold shadow, of the tomb.
THOMAS MOORE
Lalla Rookh
The sun is the giver of life.
RAMSES II
attributed, Day's Collacon
The sun is not God, though His noblest image.
ROBERT DODSLEY

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
BEATLES
"Good Day Sunshine"
I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it.
MARKUS ZUSAK
I Am the Messenger
Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Timon of Athens
The sun does not follow its appointed course without having been so ordained.
STATIUS
attributed, Day's Collacon
Can you see the sunset real good on the West side? You can see it on the East side too.
S. E. HINTON
The Outsiders
If I had to have a religion, I should adore the sun, for it is the sun that fertilizes everything.
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
conversation related by Las Cases, The Mind of Napoleon: A Selection from His Written and Spoken Words
How sickly grow,
How pale, the plants in those ill-fated vales
That, circled round with the gigantic heap
Of mountains, never felt, nor ever hope
To feel, the genial vigor of the sun!
JOHN ARMSTRONG
The Art of Preserving Health
The Sunset
This is the end
The night
The sea
The world we suggest is of a new wild west.
A sensuous evil world.
Strange and haunting, the path of the sun, you know?
JIM MORRISON
artistic manifesto, Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend
Do you see that out there? The strange, unfamiliar light? It's called the sun. Let's go get us a little.
NORA ROBERTS
The Hollow
Shine out, fair sun, till I have bought a glass,
That I may see my shadow as I pass.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

See the sun set in the hand of the man.
KATE BUSH
"The Dreaming"
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
BERNIE TAUPIN
"Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me"
Look over yonder what do you see
The sun is a-risin' most definitely
A new day is comin' people are changin'
Ain't it beautiful ...

TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHANDELLS
"Crystal Blue Persuasion"
The sun is the most excellent and most glorious thing that we see in the world; it is the next cause, under God, of all the light that is in the air, and of all the life that any creature lives upon the earth.
BISHOP BEVERIDGE
attributed, Day's Collacon
The glorious sun is the center and soul of our system, the lamp that lights it, the fire that heats it, the magnet that guides and controls it, the fountain of color which gives its azure to the sky, its verdure to the fields, its rainbow hues to the gay world of flowers, and the purple light of love to the marble cheek of youth and beauty.
