Nevertheless, to run a risk of going outside was sometimes necessary, and the threat of robbers, wolveso,even the ethereal (太空精灵),
Did they witness a deep bright blue cloud across heaven? What would it have been like to
feel the night, heavy and damp against my back? Would it have taken me, choked me with its powerful hands, separated me from other people? Or would those have been awful dreams, and dreams only?
I imagine a young girl, stepping outside her home and into a desert for some air.A cool, earthy smell would greet her.There抯 a sky with millions of stars梖ar more than at
person could see today—and there’s the moon.It’s the largest object in the sky, the midnight sun that shines in the world, the traveler抯 torch.It inspires stories of uncertainty, stories of power.I imagine this girl amazed at the moon and stars.If she wa nders too far, she needn抰 worry, for the stars will lead her back home.
Bzzz!. The lights return.Everyone cheers and abandons the room, happy that their period of being lonely is over, everyone except me.I pull my candle closer, and stare into the night.The glory is gone; it has been made less bright by street lamps, electric signs, TVs, and all other manners of artificial light.But in those moments, when every light in every house was off,people may have had a taste of the old world.They may finally have touched upon the slight fear,the admiration, and the respect that our ancestors felt for the night.
