Night

'First of all, I never get down to writing except at dead of night when it is absolutely quiet and deep silence reigns over all ... in short, when there is such complete peace that if Pythagoras were alive he would be able to hear the music of the spheres quite clearly. At such a time gods and goddesses delight to hold converse with pure minds.'
                                - Erasmus, Dialogus Ciceronianus
