The Stone that puts the Stars to Flight
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.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, trs Edward Fitzgerald
FItzgerald loved our east coast and so these lies are fitting for the glorious sunrise I saw this morning, where a large round golden sun bounced up to face an equally large, equally round, silvery moon across a paling sky..
