Quotations for curtain

Slowly, slowly falls night's curtain
Over all the wide-spread land;
And the angels of the twilight
At the gates of heaven stand.
Lo, they come, a band of angels.
Clad in robes of tender gray;
And before their gracious presence,
Fades the sun's last lingering ray. [ C. E, Charles ]

Night is the time for rest;
How sweet, when labours close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose.
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Down on our own delightful bed. [ James Montgomery ]

The curtain of the future is always drawn. [ John Bigelow ]

What tragic wastes of gloom
Curtain the soul that strives and sins below! [ R. Garnet ]

Night drew her sable curtain down, and pinned it with a star. [ Macdonald Clarke ]

Gold is the fool's curtain, which hides all his defects from the world. [ Feltham ]

The charm of the past is that it is past, but women never know when the curtain has fallen. They always want a sixth act. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]

The day of life spent in honest and benevolent labor comes in hope to an evening calm and lovely; and though the sun declines, the shadows that he leaves behind are only to curtain the spirit unto rest. [ Henry Giles ]
