Each evening sees it close;

Something attempted, something done,

Has earned a Night's repose."

Some Days are White...

"White is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black. God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white."     (Gilbert K. Chesterton)
