[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.00]Passage 12. Night [00:06.02]Night has fallen over the country. [00:10.07]Through the trees rises the red moon and the stars are scarcely seen. [00:15.76]In the vast shadow of night, the coolness and the dews descend. [00:21.01]I sit at the open window to enjoy them; and hear only the voice of the summer wind. [00:28.23]Like black hulks, the shadows of the great trees ride at anchor on the billowy sea of grass. [00:36.55]I cannot see the red and blue flowers, but I know that they are there. [00:42.13]Far away in the meadow gleams the silver Charles. [00:46.61]The tramp of horses' hoofs sounds from the wooden bridge. [00:51.43]Then all is still save the continuous wind or the sound of the neighboring sea. [00:58.22]The village clock strikes; and I feel that I am not alone. [01:03.24]How different it is in the city! [01:06.31]It is late, and the crowd is gone. [01:09.04]You step out upon the balcony, and lie in the very bosom of the cool, [01:14.95]dewy night as if you folded her garments about you. [01:18.89]Beneath lies the public walk with trees, like a fathomless, black gulf. [01:24.91]The lamps are still burning up and down the long street. [01:30.05]People go by with grotesque shadows, now foreshortened, [01:35.19]and now lengthening away into the darkness and vanishing, [01:39.02]while a new one springs up behind the walker, [01:42.41]and seems to pass him revolving like the sail of a windmill. [01:47.23]The iron gates of the park shut with a jangling clang. [01:52.26]There are footsteps and loud voices; —a tumult; —a drunken brawl; —an alarm of fire; —then silence again. [02:01.56]And now at length the city is asleep, and we can see the night. [02:07.24]The belated moon looks over the roofs, and finds no one to welcome her. [02:13.38]The moonlight is broken. [02:15.56]It lies here and there in the squares and the opening of the streets [02:21.04]—angular like blocks of white marble.
