"Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night"

- Rupert Brooke

About this Quote

This quote by Rupert Brooke speaks with the concept that cities, like felines, have a mystical and captivating quality that is just revealed when the sun sets. Throughout the day, cities are bustling with activity and life, but at night, they take on a various character. The streets become quieter, the lights end up being brighter, and the shadows end up being longer. The night highlights a different side of the city, one that is typically more mysterious and enchanting than the one seen during the day. It is as if the city is a feline, gradually exposing its secrets and its charm as the night progresses. The night brings out the concealed beauty of the city, and it is a charm that can only be seen when the sun sets.
