And so to bed

And so to bed... a few more of my Facebook closing quotes, all themed this time about night and sleep.






















And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Victor Hugo:

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. 





















And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Jodi Picoult:

Things don't always look as they seem. Some stars, for example, look like bright pinholes, but when you get them pegged under a microscope you find you're looking at a globular cluster—a million stars that, to us, presents as a single entity. 















And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Robert Louis Stevenson:

The night is over like a dream:
The sea-birds cry and dip themselves:
And in the early sunlight, steam
The newly bared and dripping shelves,
Around whose verge the glassy wave
With lisping wash is heard to lave;
While, on the white tower lifted high,
The circling lenses flash and pass
With yellow light in faded glass
And sickly shine against the sky. 

















And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Pythagoras:

Allow not sleep to close your eyes
Before three times reflecting on
Your actions of the day. What deeds
Done well, what not, what left undone?
