Mistress of peace is she, who quiet brings,
And mystic balm of healing in her train,
Who drops Sleep's magic feather from her wings
To soothe a tired world's weariness and pain.
from “The Night” – Clark Ashton Smith
"Allegory of Night" (1891; oil on canvas; height: 70 cm (27.5 in), width: 54.5 cm (21.4 in)) by Léon Frédéric (Belgian, 1856 – 1940)
