“Is there not
A tongue in every star that talks with man,
And wooes him to be wise? nor wooes in vain;
This dead of midnight is the noon of thought,
And wisdom mounts her zenith with the stars.”
Anna Letitia Barbauld

“The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.”
Anna Letitia Barbauld

“‎When one by one our ties are torn,
And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
When man is left alone to mourn,
Oh! then how sweet it is to die!”
Anna Laetitia Barbauld
