"The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;" Wordsworth, "Beauteous Evening"
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and asleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing." Keats, "Endymion"
