The sun, going down...?

Question

lays its cheek against the earth, to rest. ~ Muhammad Ibn Ghalib al Rusafi

G'night, sleep well... oh! The question!

Do you like those lines, and what do they summon to mind?
Sweet dreams :)

Answer 1

Sweetest of dreams to you, too. :)

And the lines...yes, I like them.

They're clear personification and projection of human traits on nature, on the one hand, which is charming in its own way. On the other hand...they can act as a reminder that the world around us is, itself, a living organism, subject, in its own ways, to exhaustion and depletion.

In the guise of simple child-like view of the sun laying down on the pillow of the earth, we can also be reminded that our world lives...and if we would not damage or kill it, we must tend it and care for it, factor it into our choices and plans.

...and it's cute, too. :)
