The actual quote from 'Merchant of Venice is 'All that GLISTERS is not gold'
and not,as usually quoted 'All the Glitters...' I once won a small bet with that, against some self-proclaimed Shakespeare 'expert'!

There's magic in the sleepiness
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn
Come watch the no colors fade blazing
Into petal sprays of violets of dawn
