Midnight Quote by Joan Aiken
““Night's winged horses No one can outpace But midnight is no moment Midnight is a place. Meet me at Midnight, Among the Queen Anne's Lace Midnight is not a moment, Midnight is a place— When, when shall I meet you When shall I see your face For I am living in time at present But you are living in space. Time is only a corner Age is only a fold A year is merely a penny Spent from a century's gold. So meet me, meet me at midnight (With sixty seconds' grace) Midnight is not a moment; Midnight is a place.””
