Time of Day

  • 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:

    Back out of all this now too much for us,
    Back in a time made simple by the loss
    Of detail, burned, dissolved, and broken off
    Like graveyard marble sculpture in the weather,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Auden, MacNeice, Day Lewis, I have read them all,
    Hoping against hope to hear the authentic call . . .
    And know the explanation I must pass is this
    MYou cannot light a match on a crumbling wall.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)
