With twilight our activities should recede. If we listen to music, read, or converse quietly, it should be with a sense of distension, resolution, tranquility. Just as the stars do not appear abruptly like artificial lights, so our thoughts should appear softly, tranquilly. Our thoughts as evening progresses need not be brilliant. Like the stars, they should be merely sufficient to nestle our dissolution into night.
