Dark at Dawn

They don't meet in the daytime; they meet either early before light, at dawn, or after dark, at night.

他们不在白天见面；他们要么在黎明前相遇，要么在黄昏后相遇。

Peace again! – The exquisite hour before dawn, here at my old desk — seldom have I realized so keenly, appreciated so fully, these still, dark hours.

又是安静!黎明前的美妙的时间，就在我的旧书桌前——我从未如此敏锐地认识，如此心怀感激，这些仍旧黑暗的时间。

The saffron swan of dawn, slow swimming up the sky-river between the high roof-banks, bent her neck down through the dark air-water to look at him staggering below her, with his still smoking wick.

破晓的金色天鹅在高大屋顶之间的天河中缓缓游弋而来，弯下脖颈，穿过如水般的黑夜看着他在下面蹒跚而行，灯芯儿还冒着烟。
