For me, it's the hours between late night and first light. It's hard to explain, but you get a feeling of untapped potential for the day ahead. Also, it's the feeling that you're the only one in the world up and at 'em and that that moment is singularly yours.

To quote Dylan Thomas
Quote:
You can hear the dew falling, and the hushed town breathing.
Only your eyes are unclosed to see the black and folded
town fast, and slow, asleep. And you alone can hear the
invisible starfall, the darkest-beforedawn minutely dewgrazed
stir of the black, dab-filled sea...
-Under Milk Wood
Same question.
