It is not twilight. There is no dew ....
It is the turning point between afternoon and evening ....
Chaste eve is merely preparing with "dewy finger"
to draw o'er all "the gradual dusky veil."
Not yet "the ploughman homeward plods his weary way,"
nor owls nor beetles are abroad ....
Each sound has a broad and deep relief of silence.
--Thoreau (Journal)
