Sarah Helen Whitman quotes

The days are still and bright,
And Evening trails her robes of gold
Through the dim halls of Night. (Sarah Helen Whitman)

Sarah Helen Whitman

Sarah Helen Whitman

Enchantress of the stormy seas, Priestess of Night's high mysteries.

Sarah Helen Whitman

Raven from the dim dominions On the Night's Plutonian shore, Oft I hear thy dusky pinions Wave and flutter round my door- See the shadow of thy pinions Float along the moonlit floor.
