About This Quote
There is a special charm to journeys undertaken before daybreak in hot lands: the air is soft and cool and the coming of dawn reveals a landscape fresh from the night dew. If you are going on a journey, taking your time is important. The night just before daybreak allows your eyes to adjust to the dark, letting you see without being distracted by any shadows or other obstructions. This way you can find your way, make good decisions, and keep your wits about you when it really matters.
