“A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon 

and then dripped over and was gone, 

and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, 

and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, 

hung over the spot of its going. 

And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, 

and darkness crept over the land from the east.”

 
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
