NB. In the first Act, the sky clears little by little, the morning mist dissipates, & the sun rises; in the second, it is above the horizon; & at the beginning of the third, it appears at its full height, & declines until the end of the day. This progressive movement must be done imperceptibly; but its effect must be noticeable across the three Acts.
