ELLEN CHAPMAN (HOBBS) ROLLINS
(USED PSEUDONYM E.H. ARR)
American author (1831 - 1881)

Only the country-liver can fully feel it--this dying of night
with the birth of day--this supreme moment when the mists and
dimness and low voices of the one exhale into the melody and
brightness of the other. It is a daily miracle--this sudden
transition from gray to rosy light--this unrolling of the
dew-covered landscape--this assumption, in delicious crescendo,
of sound--this quickening of the day's life over the sleep of
night--this flying of darkness, as of a ghost pursued, before the
flooding of light--this oldest of all stories again told. Awake,
for the day has dawned.
