Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

 

By this, lamenting Philomel had ended

The well-tuned warble of her nightly sorrow,

And solemn night with slow sad gait descended

To ugly hell; when, lo, the blushing morrow

Lends light to all fair eyes that light will borrow:

    But cloudy Lucrece shames herself to see,

    And therefore still in night would cloister’d be.

 

Narrator

Lucrece                          Line 1083

 

It’s a little bit cryptic, but basically it’s saying that though night is ending, Lucrece wants no part of the day, and would rather stay in the dark.

Yup, that’s what it’s saying.

Sunrise, or sunset? 

Actually, it's sunset, so not the right pic for these lines. But I couldn't find a pic of sunrise. Not to mention the fact that it's the same pic I used three days ago.

Sorry.
