Spending a portion of the night outside I've realised that we, modern people, can never ever regain the night, for we have abolished it by conquering it with light. Even on such a moonless night when the moon has set early, it is still lit by our artifice/artificiality and yet I can surely feel the longing. I hope that some of you have been more lucky, even if the police interfered ;).
