  • Sunset or sundown, the daily disappearance of the Sun below the western half of the horizon
  • 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:

    The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.
    O I’ll leap up to my God: who pulls me down?
    See, see, where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament.
    One drop would save my soul, half a drop, ah my Christ.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    I skirted the margin alders for miles and miles
    In a sweeping line.
    The day was the day by every flower that blooms,
    But I saw no sign.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
