Hi, All!

-----Beginning of the citation-----
People talk about nightfall, or night falling, or dusk
falling, and it's never seemed right to me. Perhaps


In life, night rises from the ground. The day hangs on
for as long as it can, bright and eager, absolutely and
positively the last guest to leave the party, while the
ground darkens, oozing night around your ankles,
swallowing for ever that dropped contact lens, making
you miss that low catch in the gully on the last ball
of the last over.
----- The end of the citation -----

Can you explain it in other words?

"... swallowing for ever that dropped contact lens,
making you miss that low catch in the gully on the last
ball of the last over."


Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
