“The town was glad with morning; places that had shown ugly and distrustful all night long, now wore a smile; and sparkling sun-beams dancing on chamber windows, and twinkling through blind and curtain before sleepers’ eyes, shed light even into dreams, and chased away the shadows of night.
-Charles Dickens1
