Description
It’s the shank of the evening! But when is that, exactly? This phrase typically suggests that the night is far from over, shank being an old word for something, straight, or the tail end of something. But as the Dictionary of American Regional English notes, in the South, evening is considered “the time between late afternoon and dusk.”
The lyrics “In the shank of the night,
When the doins’ are right
Well you can tell ‘em I’ll be there …” are part of “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of The Evening,” music by Hoagy Carmichael & lyrics by Johnny Mercer, 1951
It’s the shank of the evening as the moon is illuminated by the last hues of the setting summer sun as the sky segues to twilight on July 1, 2020 at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I just love the phrase “shank of the evening,” and was very happy to take a photo that showcases it!
