'Tis noon - a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many a broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is gleaming like a lovely star. [ George D. Prentice ]

It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit. [ Rivarol ]

To the Christian, these shades are the golden haze which heaven's light makes, when it meets the earth, and mingles with its shadows. [ H. W. Beecher ]
