For the Love of Sky at Night

From one of my favourite poems: "Evening in Paradise"
by John Milton
"Now came still evening on, and twilight gray
Had in her sober livery all things clad;
Silence accompanied; for beast and bird..............
"With living sapphires; Herpeus, that led
The starry host, rode brightest, till the moon,
Rising in cluded majesty, at length.....
"Apparent queen, unveiled her peerless light,
And o'er the dark her silver mantle threw......."
