Cold enough for frost last night, but only dew this morning,
dew and mist, rising through the first corridors of sunlight.
"It is a new value when darkness amounts to something positive...
"Each morning now is fresher and cooler, and leaves
still green reflect a brighter sheen."
–Thoreau, October 2, 1858.
