"Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light."

Cathythoughts I love this beautiful quote ❤️ 1mo
Bookwomble @Cathythoughts Me, too. FitzGerald reworked it for later editions, but I think he got it right with this one in the first edition 😊 1mo

Beautiful, timeless, profound, and - in places - sad. A treasured gift from a student. Full of thoughts for troubled times and not all deep or weighed down with gravitas. ‘Short measures are best of everything except wine‘ is a current favourite.
