A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

One day, you said, I watched the sunset forty-three times!
And a little later you added:
You know, when one is that sad, one can get to love the sunset.
Were you that sad, then, on the day of the forty-three sunset?
But the prince made no answer.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

He stood on the sand watching the double sunset as first one and then the other of Tatooine's twin suns sank slowly behind the distant range of dunes. In the fading light the sands turned gold, russet, and flaming red-orange before advancing night put the bright colors to sleep for another day.
Alan Dean Foster, A New Hope

Look, she said. It's going to be a beautiful sunset. Shall we stay out and watch it?
All right, I said, and we stayed there on the lawn for quite awhile, arms around each other's waists, first watching the bright colors come up in the sky, then watching them fade to ashes of gray.
Stephen King, The Green Mile
