Time Sleeping

Khalil Gibran: In the heart of all winters lives a pulsating spring and behind every night comes a smiling aurora Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: the night is half life and best half in where the Sun lives and why not visit us at night? Where it gets the day when it reaches its end at six in the afternoon? Where the Rainbow begins and where it ends? The stars live in a dark cave and sleep all day to decorate the sky at night?
