“The dawn came up like a sudden explosion of light, chasing away the last lingering stars and flooding the world with a fierce, joyous brilliance. The air sang with the awakening of birds, and the dew sparkled like diamonds on the grass.” 

“There is a magic in the African night, a sense of mystery and power that hangs heavy in the air. The stars burn with an almost insolent brightness, and the moon paints the landscape in silver.” 

Winston Churchill
