The tree was a tree with happy leaves, and I was myself, and there were stars in the sky that were also themselves at the moment, at which moment my right hand was holding my left hand which was holding the tree which was filled with stars and the soft rain— imagine! imagine! the wild and wondrous journeys still to be ours.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mary Oliver" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mary-oliver/last-night-the-rain-spoke-to-me-last-night-the-rain-spoke-to-me/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8ae/mary-oliver-570_beauty_last-night-the-rain-spoke-to-me-last-nig_3105077.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8ae/mary-oliver-570_beauty_last-night-the-rain-spoke-to-me-last-nig_3105077.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8ae/mary-oliver-570_beauty_last-night-the-rain-spoke-to-me-last-nig_3105077.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me\" Last night the rain spoke to me slowly, saying, what joy to come falling…” — Mary Oliver", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 14, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“At the side of the house he scraped scales of fungus off the shingles. His basement smelled of mildew, his eyes stinging when he put in the laundry. The soil of his vegetable garden was too wet to till, the roots of the seedlings he’d planted washing away. The rhododendrons shed their purple petals too soon, the peonies barely opening before the stalks bent over, the blossoms smashed across the drenched ground. It was carnal, the smell of so much moisture. The smell of the earth’s decay. At night the rain would wake him. He heard it pelting the windows, washing the pitch of the driveway clean. He wondered if it was a sign of something. Of another juncture in his life. He remembered rain falling the first night he spent with Holly, in her cottage. Heavy rain the evening Bela was born. He began expecting it to leak through the bricks around the fireplace, to drip through the ceiling, to seep in below the doors. He thought of the monsoon coming every year in Tollygunge.

It was accusing and trying me and passing judgment. Long I lay still under the sentence, listening to the rain, and then at last listening to words which seemed to be spoken by a ghostly double beside me. He was muttering: The all-night rain puts out summer like a torch. In the heavy, black rain falling straight from invisible, dark sky to invisible, dark earth the heat of summer is annihilated, the splendour is dead, the summer is gone. The midnight rain buries it away where it has buried all sound but its own. I am alone in the dark still night, and my ear listens to the rain piping in the gutters and roaring softly in the trees of the world. Even so will the rain fall darkly upon the grass over the grave when my ears can hear it no more… The summer is gone, and never can it return. There will never be any summer any more, and I am weary of everything… I am alone. The truth is that the rain falls for ever and I am melting into it. Black and monotonously sounding is the midnight and solitude of the rain. In a little while or in an age – for it is all one – I shall know the full truth of the words I used to love, I knew not why, in my days of nature, in the days before the rain: ‘Blessed are the dead that the rain rains on.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Edward Thomas" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/edward-thomas/i-lay-awake-listening-to-the-rain-and-at-first-it-was-as-pleasant-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b82/edward-thomas-23008_alone-in-the-dark_i-lay-awake-listening-to-the-rain-and-at_3016751.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b82/edward-thomas-23008_alone-in-the-dark_i-lay-awake-listening-to-the-rain-and-at_3016751.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b82/edward-thomas-23008_alone-in-the-dark_i-lay-awake-listening-to-the-rain-and-at_3016751.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I lay awake listening to the rain, and at first it was as pleasant to my ear and my mind as it had long been…” — Edward Thomas", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/night-rain/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/night-rain/", "name": "Night Rain Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/night-rain/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ac7/ranjan-dey-57278_dream_my-youths-dream-of-night-the-rain-drops_2435890.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 15 Night Rain quotes by 13 authors.
