Blown in its native bed. 'Tis there alone
His faculties expanded in full bloom
Shine out, there only reach their proper use.

For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger; At whose approach ghosts wandring here and there Troop home to church-yards....

William Shakespeare

But faith is like the evening star, shining into our souls the more brightly, the deeper is the night of death in which they sink.
William Mountford
