quotations about the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights

Aurora Borealis quote

Unfortunately, the peak time to see the Northern Lights recently passed in 2013. But for the next nine years, the lights will grow brighter until another peak is reached in 2023. This is a natural wonder that takes a bit of planning and a potentially long wait, but it is more than worth it!

Seeing a bright auroral display may be on your list of 'things to see before I die'! Yep, they are nature's light show par excellence.

Night's son was driving
His golden-haired horses up;
Over the eastern firths
High flashed their manes.

I was lucky enough to see the spectacular light show from Snowhotel in Kirkenes, Norway. Frankly, facing Arctic winds while popping in and out of the standard-construction restaurant/lounge had greater appeal than my frozen bed. Payoff came when I got to see the northern lights ebbing and flowing throughout the night.

O blest one hour like this! to rise
And see grief's shadows backward roll;
While bursts on unaccustomed eyes
The glad Aurora of the soul.
