So, night equates with death? I disagree, night is simply a pause for reflection, with a return of the glorious day soon to happen. The night is not to be feared but it should be embraced as the true blessing it is. Wouldn't the world be a much less beautiful place without the gentle arrival of the night, giving the world a rest before going on to the next day? How many authors do their best work during the evening hours when the light fades, allowing them to contemplate worlds that only exist in the mind, apart from the harsh reality of the day?
