night, n.All

Night is for thieves, the day is for honest men.

Night is a stealthy, evil raven, wrapt to the eyes in his black wings.

Why is it called 'after dark', when it is really after light?

Night is a more perfect day.

Night is a temporal death under a roof... but in the open world, with its stars and dews and perfumes, it passes lightly as the hours are marked by changes in the face of nature.

When night falls who picks it up?

Night is friendly and familiar out in the country, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.

Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof... but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.

Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?

Night is a time to forget the outward world and to hold communion with the beings of the mind.

Night is a tunnel, a hole into tomorrow.
