Just another sunset

Sunset Long meadow 7-21 As a heat-wave Monday draws to a close, a summer night in Brooklyn begins. The park has a spent and quiet air, despite the dedicated cyclists and joggers who struggle up the hill and past the Long Meadow.












Sunset, Nellie's lawn 7-21 Across the drive, "Nellie's Lawn" is a peaceful green bowl in the deepening twilight.




PRESENTIMENT is that long shadow on the lawn

Indicative that suns go down;

The notice to the startled grass

That darkness is about to pass.

 

—Emily Dickinson
