Maybe this will just reveal my ignorance, but I found a new word today that I've never heard, ever.
crepsucle: n twilight; just after the sun goes down (from middle English)
I was amazed. There are many words I hear or read that I'm a little unsure of, or I'm unclear about their pronunciation, but this is a word I've never heard, nor recall reading, ever before.
How about you? Have you read or heard it? Do you know a context for it? A book, a play, whatever?
And, on another tangent: is there a corresponding word that refers to "dawn"? Mmmm...I must explore thesaurs.com.
"Traditionally, literature makes much of the beauty of fleeting things and the delight of the bittersweet mixing of pain and pleasure. But no one ever said that heaven was seasonal or fleeting. Heaven is always portrayed as blissfully monotonous, one bright blue day after another forever and ever. Rather like California."

It appears to be a word I will probably never need to use.
Peace,
