Leigh Hunt Quotes About Sleep

Quotes about: Sleep

• It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well nestled in bed, and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past; the limbs have just been tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labour of the day is gone

  Leigh Hunt

  Tired, Sleep, Past

  Leigh Hunt (1820). “The Indicator”, p.105

• We are slumberous poppies,
  Lords of Lethe downs,
  Some awake and some asleep,
  Sleeping in our crowns.
  What perchance our dreams may know,
  Let our serious may know.

  Leigh Hunt

  Dream, Sleep, Serious

  Leigh Hunt (2016). “Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Leigh Hunt (Illustrated)”, p.329, Delphi Classics

• The golden line is drawn between winter and summer. Behind all is blackness and darkness and dissolution. Before is hope, and soft airs, and the flowers, and the sweet season of hay; and people will cross the fields, reading or walking with one another; and instead of the rain that soaks death into the heart of green things, will be the rain which they drink with delight; and there will be sleep on the grass at midday, and early rising in the morning, and long moonlight evenings.

  Summer, Sweet, Morning
