It must have reached the soft lawn of the house across the street by then, and was swallowed into the deep stillness of late night. A bit later, the thin rind of the waning moon appeared among the pine branches to the northeast, bringing them out of darkness, but just barely. It will be more than an hour before the pale light of morning will begin to reveal them in greater detail. The early commuters whose cars I now hear passing will reach their destinations before the sun shows itself today. Late October brings the latest dawns of the year, since the clocks will be set back before the month ends. I enjoy these dark mornings, and did so even during those times when I had to rise and go out into them. I much prefer them to dark evenings, and will miss them when they are gone.
