noon
-- so , unlike the order of the External Universe , glide together , side by side , the shadowy steeds of NIGHT AND MORNING . Examine life in its own world ; confound not that world , the inner one , the practical one , with the more visible , yet airier and less substantial system , doing homage to the sun , to whose throne , afar in the infinite space , the human heart has no wings to flee . In life , the mind and the circumstance give the true seasons , and regulate the darkness and the light . Of two men standing on the same foot of earth , the one revels in the joyous noon , the other shudders in the solitude of night . For Hope and Fortune , the day-star is ever shining . For Care and Penury , Night changes not with the ticking of the clock , nor with the shadow on the dial . Morning for the heir , night for the houseless , and God 's eye over both .
