Legend: Dawn or "Here Comes the Sun"

Please see the Introduction To Rabbit Hole Legend A-Z post for information about sources and purpose.                                                                                        

Dawn: The Arising of the Sun after the darkest hour of the night is a common theme with the Beatles with: Here Comes The Sun, (Here Come the) Sun King, Good Day Sunshine; and George's Rising Sun.

"The joyful, optimistic start to a new day, the Greeks personified the dawn as Eos, who, regular as clockwork, opens the gates of Heaven every morning with her rosy fingers for the Sun God, Helios, to ride through. Dawn symbolizes the triumph of light over dark and, consequently, of good over evil. WE say that 'the darkest hour comes before dawn,' meaning that things are often at their most difficult when the end is in sight." (ISS)

"[In regards to the Rose Coss from Freemasonry] ' The ROSE, was anciently sacred to Aurora and the Sun. It is a symbol of Dawn, of the resurrection of Light and the renewal of life, and therefore of the dawn of the first day, and more particularly of the resurrection: and the Cross and Rose together are therefore hieroglyphically to be read, the Dawn of Eternal Life which all Nations have hoped for by the advent of a Redeemer.' Albert Pike 1871"   <Source here>

Seval - Rooster
"Seval is the noble red rooster who heralds each dawn, calling all to awake and arise. He is a symbol of the imminence of spiritual unfoldment and wisdom. As a fighting cock, he crows from Lord Skanda's battle flag."<Follow like to source site>

This calls to mind the sound of the Rooster at the beginning of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise; and if you follow the link about the Goddess Aurora you will learn, "Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurora asked Jupiter to grant immortality to Tithonus. Jupiter granted her wish, but she failed to ask for eternal youth to accompany his immortality, and he became forever old. Aurora turned him into a grasshopper". Grasshoppers can be heard at the beginning of Sun King. Lovely! All linked together from learning about Dawn!
                                         "Rising Sun" by George Harrison.
 From original poster: "Track from the album Brainwashed released in 2002 shortly after George's passing. Jeff Lynne produced and polished up George's basic track along with George's son Dhani! I added rare pics of George, shots taken just before he died."
