"What a glorious sunrise, and what crisp, delicious air!

In the golden sunrise came the faint, far crack of a rifle, and a stricken woman would throw up her hands on the distant edge of the village; in the noonday heat, men in the trenches heard the shrill sing-song and knew their deaths; or in the gray afterglow of evening, the dirt kicked up in puffs by the winking fires.

His devil should never again rejoice in having his finger on a trigger or send him off an easy traveller in search of gorgeous sunrises.

One morning, as we were standing on a mountain looking at a magnificent sunrise, I saw a girl climbing a neighbouring peak.

She prefers to jog along in the old rut, contentedly turning out chromolithographic sunrises such as they give away at the tea stores, contentedly staging the most violent and improbable melodramas; andsturdy old Philistine that she isshe even now permits her children to fall in love in the most primitive fashion.

It was an elemental sunrise, a veritable first morning.

What a grand sunrise it was!

But for purposes of exact calculation, the day, beginning an hour before mean sunrise, is distributed into twelve periods, or antoi, of a little more than two terrestrial hours each.

This, Mr. Very thinks, is due to the fact that the half of the moon's face first illuminated for us has, on the average, a darker surface than that of the afternoon, or second quarter, during which the curve descends not quite so rapidly, the temperature near sunset being only a little higher than that near sunrise.

The eye was shut in men; the hearing ear Dull unto deafness; nought but earthly things Had credence; and no highest art that flings A spirit radiance from it, like the spear Of the ice-pointed mountain, lifted clear In the nigh sunrise, had made skyey springs Of light in the clouds of dull imaginings: Vain were the painter or the sculptor here.

It was suddenly as if he had never seen it before; then, while Maudie waited, a little scornful, a little kind, his eyes went through the window to the pink and orange sunrise.

With these pleasant sunrise impressions you go forth into the day with more lenient views towards the "land of whales," sniffing the salt air with a real gusto.

If you were there, you remember it as you remember a rare sunrise, or a peculiarly delicate May-flower, or that strain in a simple old song which is like orioles and butterflies and dew-drops.

The dawn came, and then the rosy sunrise.

Then suddenly "The sanguine sunrise, with his meteor eyes," flamed over the eastern ridges, and in a flood of glory the soft shadows and pallid lights of the dawn became merged in the brilliance of a Kashmir autumn day.

There was a scarlet sunrise the next morning.

When I opened my belated eyes, the tall peaks on the opposite side of the glen were girdled below their waists with the flood of a sparkling sunrise.

No one, surely, whose lips had not tasted of the waters of Helicon, could have uttered such words as these: Here's the blue violet, like Pandora's eye, When first it darkened with immortal life or a line of such intense imaginative force as this: I've huddled her into the wormy earth; or this splendid description of a stormy sunrise:

It was an angry sunrise.

In this line, for instance, he calls up, without a word of definite description, the vision of a sudden and brilliant sunrise: Déjà le jour plus grand nous frappe et nous éclaire.

Four times during the revolution of the great circle each large clock emits for a couple of minutes a species of chime, the nature of which my ignorance of music renders me unable to describe:viz., when the line dividing the green and black semicircles is horizontal at noon and midnight, and an hour before, at average sunrise and sunset, it becomes perpendicular.

See, Major, and be convinced!" He pointed eastward, into the blazing sunrise.

A bleak sunrise,a treacherous morning gleam, And now, ere mid-day, all my sky is black With whirling drifts once more!
