Alexander Hume, of Polwarth, the poet-preacher of Logie, near Stirling, in his fine description of a "Summer's Day," thus refers to them:- "The rayons of the sunne we see Diminish in their strength; The shade of everie tower and tree, Extended is in length.
"In the Border Country"
W. S. (William Shillinglaw) Crockett
Ainsi l'astre du jour au bout de sa carriere, Repand sur l'horizon une douce lumiere, Et les derniers rayons qu'il darde dans lea airs, Sont ses derniers soupirs qu'il donne a l'univers."
"Berlin and Sans-Souci"
Louise Muhlbach
Its title was Les rayons et Les Ombres.
"Hilda Lessways"
Arnold Bennett
