E.F. Benson
“Ah, this delicious night air,' she said, luxuriously sniffing in the coolness. 'Night air and gardening are the great tonics. There is nothing so stimulating as bare contact with rich mother earth. You are never so fresh as when you have been grubbing in the soil - black hands, black nails, and boots covered with mud.' She gave her great jovial laugh.

'I'm a glutton for air and earth,' she said. 'Positively I look forward to death, for then I shall be buried and have the kind earth all round me. No leaden caskets for me - I have given explicit directions. But what shall I do about air? Well, I suppose one can't have everything.'

("Mrs. Amworth")”

“Strains of music spring up, crystallizing in the night air like rain turning suddenly to snow, drifting to earth.”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Night air has the strangest flavour
Space to breathe it - time to savour
All that night air has to lend me
Til the morning makes me angry

In the night air, the night air.

I've acquired a kind of madness
Daylight fills my heart with sadness
And only silent skies can soothe me
Feel that night air flowing through me

In the night air, the night air.

I don't need those car-crash colours
I control the stars above us
Close my eyes to make the night fall
The comfort of world revolving
I can hear the earth in orbit

In the night air, in the night air.

I've acquired a taste for silence
darkness fills my heart with calmness
and each thought like a thief is driven
to steal the night air from the heavens

In the night air, in the night air...”
