Daylight Falls

“Day falls from high in the sky on to the sleeping countryside. Dawn spreads like a varnish bringing shapes and colors into the light. Daylight descends.”

From At Day’s Close by A.Roger Ekirch)

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (January) is the god of two faces - the god of beginnings, transitions, duality, doorways and ending. January is also described as the blackest month of all the year.
