Hi. This is a line from a play... Any poetic ideas?
"No person, that has not woken to the crowing of a familiar cock, ca know how tender that cry is evermore, stirring the child out into the fresh fingers of sunlight, into the ever-widening armfuls of sunlight."
Thanks!

GRACIAS A TODOS, ¡ESTÁIS ECHOS UNOS SHAKESPEARE! :)

"Thomas: The cock crows in the morning yard, baninshing all nigh fears. No person..."
Mmmm... Here is the description of the scene, because I think that the previous sentence is not enough.
"The calling of a cock distantly, birdsong, the cock louder. An arm of sunlight creeps into the room and across Thomas' covered face. His hand creeps out and his fingers wave in the light. He pulls dow the sheet and the noise cease. He listens. Imitates the cock softly".
