Excerpt from A Napa Christchild: And Benicia's Letters Darker grows the streak, as a stain of blood, while the clouds about it now assume a purple tinge with gloomier shadings; suddenly in the centre of the lurid field starts out as if that moment born to Earth, with clear, silver light, the Evening Star. The colour slowly fades till all is dead and ashy, and the silver star drops down below the purpled hills, leaving for a moment a soft, trembling twi light; the dense clouds then rolling in between, blot out the last sign of departed day and night is come.
