day-star

    0.02 sec.
day´-star`    (dā´stär`)
n.1.The morning star; the star which ushers in the day; - usually the planet Venus, when seen before and just after sunrise.
A dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.
- 2 Peter i. 19.
2.The sun, as the orb of day.
So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,
And yet anon repairs his drooping head,
And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore
Flames in the forehead of the morning sky.
- Milton.

But old Christmas smiled as he laid this cruel-seeming spell on the outdoor world, for he meant to light up home with new brightness, to deepen all the richness of indoor color, and give a keener edge of delight to the warm fragrance of food; he meant to prepare a sweet imprisonment that would strengthen the primitive fellowship of kindred, and make the sunshine of familiar human faces as welcome as the hidden day-star.
The Mill on the Floss by Eliot, George View in context
In the same way Amadis was the polestar, day-star, sun of valiant and devoted knights, whom all we who fight under the banner of love and chivalry are bound to imitate.
Don Quixote by Cervantes, Miguel View in context
