I had assumed "gawk" was a verb-made-noun and the reference was to the
tilt-headed, open-beaked, peevish-looking stare of a heron, as if he
expects something from you (well, where is it?), and so you write. But
that doesn't make sense if it's "night" ... So I'm confused and it's not
just about pronunciation anymore...
