I guess not a lot to say in this one I was just browsing online and came across this Van Gogh painting and was reminded of this line. So thought I would post a link

I think it is significant that only sunset and night are mentioned. This might point to an association with Death. The primary theme of this chapter has been Love. This is defined as the disolution (death) of the individual self in the ecstacy of union with the infinite.

What is meant by "blue-lidded"? Is that a reference to the usual depiction of Nuit, as the goddess stretched over the earth, blue and gold?

naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.

What a line! Reminds me of the first time I went to the middle of Australia, turned up in some 'desert', arrived at night in the combi, work up as the van stopped, got out for a wee, looked up ... and nearly fell over!

I met a Thelemite from the USA that came here every few years to do a Liber Nv in the outback, inside a giant metor crater, under that sky ... Just lie back and let yourself fall 'up' into it ... swooosh!
