Sentences with DIURNAL (5)
Half yet remaines unsung, but narrower bound Within the visible Diurnal Spheare; Standing on Earth, not rapt above the Pole, More safe I Sing with mortal voice, unchang’d To hoarce or mute, though fall’n on evil dayes, On evil dayes though fall’n, and evil tongues; In darkness, and with dangers compast rouud, And solitude; yet not alone, while thou Visit’st my slumbers Nightly, or when Morn Purples the East: still govern thou my Song, _Urania_, and fit audience find, though few.

Quotes with DIURNAL (3)
From too much love of living From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea. Then star nor sun shall waken, Nor any change of light: Nor sound of waters shaken, Nor any sound or sight: Nor wintry leaves nor vernal, Nor days nor things diurnal; Only the sleep eternal In an eternal night.
This moment will disappear and another one will come. And one day, i will sit down and i will try to count them. Full of surprise i will ask myself "Have I really lived so many moments?" I know that they are nevertheless countless and diurnal. But now that you came, every second is different, so different that when it's gone, vacancy fills the place. It goes away, and the person who's yearning for moments like this stays there, praying to live them once more. Just for a thousandth, LASTTIME.
