nocturne

Before the end of the nocturne carriage bells are heard outside.

If any reader has a curiosity to know what my yacht is not like, he should read the striking yacht chapter in Nocturne.

The lovely "nocturne" of the evening plain had passed into a Vision or Masque of Force that captured the mind.

The latter piece, Harmonies du soir in the first, as well as in the final version, appears as a kind of Nocturne.
