graffiti-laden puddles splish, splosh, splash; as midnight turns to blue, and dawn to ash
‘I walked up, and I walked down, and I walked straight into a delicately dying sky, and finally the sequence of observed and observant things brought me, at my usual eating time, to a street so distant from my usual eating place that I decided to try a restaurant which stood on the fringe of the town. Night had fallen without sound or ceremony when I came out again.’ - Vladimir Nabokov, The Vane Sisters
