“…I always felt the sunset or late afternoon sounds more penetrating and sweeter–seem’d to touch the soul–often the evening thrushes, two or three of them, responding and perhaps blending. Though I miss’d some of the mornings, I found myself getting to be quite strictly punctual at the evening utterances.” - Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
