  • Twilight, a time of day when the Sun is just below the horizon and the Earth is illuminated indirectly by sunlight scattering in the upper atmosphere
  • Dusk, the darkest stage of twilight in the evening

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or day:

    You cannot conquer Time.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
