Dialectical Journal: Their Eyes Were Watching God 1. “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon‚ never out of sight‚ never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation‚ his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now‚ women forget all those things they don’t want to remember‚ and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things

grass was almost my height and there was nothing but weeds everywhere. I imagined this house would’ve probably been huge and gorgeous in its days. It had three full stories. The fourth floor had an attic where you could sit and see the sunset on the horizon. The house also had a huge porch with large white columns making a fence to support the balcony.

Sun below the western half of the horizon‚ i.e. at an azimuth greater than 180 degrees‚ as a result of Earth’s rotation. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun’s disk disappears below the horizon.
