傍晚是一天中光线最美的时候，但也是光线开始消逝的时候。
The evening is the time of day when the light is most beautiful, but it’s also the time when it starts to fade.
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
The function of consciousness is to solve problems of adaptation.
