French Phrase for the day


Entre chien et loup

Between the dog and the wolf
Dusk
The time at the end of the day when the sun has gone down but it is not yet dark -- when it becomes impossible to discern between a dog (symbolising day as he can guide us) and a wolf (symbolising night, a threat,fear, nightmares)


This is an expression that goes as far back as antiquity, but only appeared in the French language in a text of the 11th century: "quand l’homme ne peut distinguer le chien du loup".
