The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the heart of the child. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
At first a small line of inconceivable splendor emerged on the horizon, which quickly expanding, the sun appeared in all of his glory, unveiling the whole face of nature, vivifying every colour of the landscape, and sprinkling the dewy earth with glittering light. - Ann Radcliffe
