On all important time, thro evry age, — Day

"[T]he great lady of heaven delivered those words to An. Having heard those words, An slapped his thighs in [annoyance], his voice filled with sighs of grief: "What has my child done? She has become greater than me! What has Inana done? She has become greater than me! From now on, the normal length of daylight becomes shorter, and daylight converts to night-time. From today, when the days watch is three units long, daylight is equal to night-time." And now, when day began, it was indeed so."

"Quantumvis cursum longum fessumque moratur Sol, sacro tandem carmine Vesper adest."

"What hath this day deservd? what hath it done, That it in golden letters should be set Among the high tides in the calendar?"

"A life that leads melodious days."

"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, The very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Varieties And Realities of your Existence; The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision; But Today well lived Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn."

"After the day there cometh the derke night; For though the day be never so longe, At last the belles ringeth to evensonge."
