Into the Sun

Once upon a time when I was  very little, my brothers made little solar glasses out of x-ray plates, just to take a look at the wondrous solar eclipse, that was all over the newspapers. Those glasses were cute and black, just out of some sci-fi movie. Stanley Kubrick would have loved them, you know. 

So is it true these days, that on normal days, only lovers look at the sun?
The kind of people who loves life, who fishes for a little time just to see the sun go up or down.
The sun is milder when the day ends, it doesn't burn your eyes, it soothes it right? Beauty soothes eyes, they say. 
We're all asleep when the sun rises. Its more pleasant in the morning, but then what do we know when we hardly see the morning?

And then there are weird people like me, who stares at the midday sun because they have sepia glasses and have nothing better to do.
