Understanding this quote
The line describes a place at night as both beautiful and unsettling. Glow-worms give its evenings a faint, natural light, while owls’ shrieks interrupt the silence and make the darkness feel mysterious. The contrast between gentle glow and sudden cries creates a vivid picture of nighttime that is enchanting but not entirely peaceful.
