Morning is a man’s time, evening a woman’s hour
Hal Boyle muses on daily rhythms, arguing morning stirs men while evening fits women. He imagines morning as a masculine surge of energy with sensory clarity, and notes women’s morning duties before retreating to rest, while men seek the day’s adventure and pace. He paints parks at dawn, aging pedestrians, and the universal pull of morning’s bugle.
