Shining nowhere but in the dark;
What mysteries do lie beyond thy dust,
Could man outlook that mark!

Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow.
Edward Young
Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.
Fred Rogers
Priestly celibacy has been guarded by the Church for centuries as a brilliant jewel, and retains its value undiminished even in our time when the outlook of men and the state of the world have undergone such profound changes.
Paul VI (Pope)
The moods of the dark night skies are variously represented like soft black velvet, like the shining black of a scarab beetle, like the patina-ed surface of Indian-inked paper, soft blotting-paper soaked in dark blue ink for forty days, like a black cat's fur shining in moonlight...
Peter Greenaway
Take your delight in momentariness,
Walk between dark and dark — a shining space
With the grave’s narrowness, though not its peace.Robert Graves
