Quote of the Day (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, on ‘The Trailing Garments of the Night’)

“I heard the trailing garments of the Night

      Sweep through her marble halls!

I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light

      From the celestial walls!” —American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), “Hymn to the Night,” in Voices of the Night (1839)
