The Night Came Slowly by Kate Chopin
The narrator expresses a growing disillusionment with human beings and their actions, finding solace and enchantment in the tranquility of the night. The night, described as creeping softly, brings a sense of mystery and solemnity. The narrator finds peace in the night's charm, observing the darkness unfold and feeling a connection with nature.
The night is contrasted with the perceived shallowness of human interaction, and the narrator rejects the company of people, desiring instead the profound communication found in the night, the stars, and the caressing wind. The katydids' song and the rustling of the maple leaves contribute to the soothing atmosphere, contrasting with the intrusion of a detestable man who disrupts the narrator's contemplation with his "Bible Class" and coarse demeanor. The narrator questions the worthiness of seeking spiritual guidance from such individuals, preferring the silent wisdom of the stars that have witnessed the ages.
