Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature.
屋檐下的夜晚沉寂而单调;在旷野里,夜却伴着星光、露水与芬芳轻盈流逝,大自然容颜的变化标记着时辰。
— Robert Louis Stevenson · Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes · A Night Among the Pines —
