In singer-songwriter Björk's Vespertine track, Aurora is described as:
- Aurora
- Goddess sparkle
- A mountain shade suggests your shape
- I tumble down on my knees
- Fill my mouth with snow
- The way it melts
- I wish to melt into you
- in the poem "Tithonus" by Lord Alfred Tennyson, Aurora is described thus:
- Once more the old mysterious glimmer steals
- From thy pure brows, and from thy shoulders pure,
- And bosom beating with a heart renewed.
- Thy cheek begins to redden through the gloom,
- Thy sweet eyes brighten slowly close to mine,
- Ere yet they blind the stars, and the wild team
- Which love thee, yearning for thy yoke, arise,
- And shake the darkness from their loosened manes,
- And beat the twilight into flakes of a fire
