Over the river a golden ray of sun came through the hosts of leaden rain clouds.

Just like the sun coming up yonder out of the sea, pushing rays of light ahead of it.

The sun, — the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man — burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray.

The sun shone calm and bright on the grass, refreshed by the rain, on the border of pretty stones, on the sparkling yellow rocks. It was a caricature of a happy scene.

A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.

It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea.

Little flashes of sun on the surface of a cold, dark sea.

The lights of the city on hills make a vertical shimmer from sky straight into the water, like a backdrop, like a dream. (p37)

The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.

It was around dusk when my companion and I noticed the position of sun closer to the west horizon, and the sun was going up.

The sky at the top of the gray ocean has become much lighter now. The sun is about to rise. I will end this recording for now and stop the bus and walk outside and watch the sun rise over the ocean.
My God, the world can be beautiful.

A light, a glory, a fair luminous cloud Enveloping the earth.

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright — And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea — if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.
