Examples of noonday in a Sentence

1. Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th earl of Chesterfield, 1749:

   That ready wit, which you so partially allow me, ... may create many admirers; but, take my word for it, it makes few friends. It shines and dazzles like the noonday sun, but, like that, too, it is very apt to scorch, and therefore is always feared. The milder morning and evening light and heat of that planet soothe and calm our minds. Never seek for wit; if it present itself, well and good; but even then, let your judgement interpose, and take care that it be not at the expense of anybody.

2. Indian Proverb:

   Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun.

3. Scott C. Holstad:

   i am nothing but bits of paper, grains of sand pressed hot against hard flesh, campfires burning bright against the still night. i am man‑flesh human life walking ~ dreaming, twitching under the noonday sun.
