Debate! Are you a Sunrise or a Sunset person?

[REI-JohnJ]

As of the writing of this post if you search 'sunrise' and 'sunset' here in the community the scales tip in favor of 'sunset' by a margin of 32 results to 25. But is that a true representation of the people? Because the question has never been asked directly, let's settle this once and for all (for now, at least):

Which do you prefer: Sunrises or Sunsets?

Bonus points for your best (or favorite) photo that you have taken!

What is to describe sunshine if not poetry? 🙂

"When the young Dawn with fingertips of rose lit up the world..."

Betcha don't know where that came from (without using Google).

@TomIrvineyou are correct!  But I do like it...

@TomIrvine, I cheated.  there, I said it, lol. 

Interestingly enough, I've read (and listened to) "this classic", (and the one that comes before it) about 3 times in the last 8yrs, mostly on my daily long walks.

Homer's 'The Odyssey'?

I always heard it 'Dawn, the rosey fingered one...'

I like yours better though!

[TomIrvine]

Actually, Homer repeats this phrase with slight variations throughout the epic.

Copy that! Either way I'm emailing this thread to my high school english teachers to make them proud!

How 'bout this one...  (No google)  Ten points for author and title.

"The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light,

And fleckled darkness like a drunkard reels
From forth day's path and Titan's fiery wheels."

Oh man! I know this is Shakespeare but I can't, for the life of me, remember which play it is from. Hamlet is my favorite, so there's a chance it would pique my memory there but I'm fairly confident that is incorrect...

I will not google...you'll have to tell me!

[TomIrvine]

Five points for Shakespeare. (Good one John!)
