That passage just whacked me in the head. It's all really beautiful.
Vespers is *such* a whispery word--and vespertine, too. It's related to Hesperus, the (Greek) evening star who is, incidentally, the half-brother of Phospherus, the morning star. Seriously. Language is magic.
When I read vespertine I immediately thought of antelucan. MAGIC I SAY.
