Waking Up

“

Up roos the sonne, and up roose Emelye.

Geoffrey Chaucer

“

Wake! For the Sun who scatter’d into flight
The Stars before him from the Field of night,
Drives Night along with them from Heav’n and strikes
The Sultan’s Turret with a Shaft of Light.

Edward FitzGerald

“

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.

Edward FitzGerald

“

For May wol have no slogardie anyght.
The sesoun priketh every gentil herte,
And maketh hym out of his slep to sterte.

Geoffrey Chaucer

“

Hark! hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
And Phoebus ’gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chalic’d flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes:
With everything that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise.

William Shakespeare

“

Sits as one new-risen from a dream.

William Shakespeare

“

Consciousness is a disease.

Miguel de Unamuno
