"Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky."
-- Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds

"And the sunset itself on such waves of ether
That I just can't comprehend
Whether it is the end of the day, the end of the world,
Or the mystery of mysteries in me again."
-- Anna Akhmatova, The Complete Poems
"'One day,' you said, 'I watched the sunset forty-three times!'
And a little later you added:
'You know, when one is that sad, one can get to love the sunset.'
'Were you that sad, then, on the day of the forty-three sunset?'
But the prince made no answer."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
