“Entre chien et loup” is a French expression which comes from the mediaeval latin infra horum vespertinam, inter canem et lupum and alludes to the momentary liminality between day and night, when a wolf can easily be mistaken for a dog.
It can also signify the instability of the world and mind - moments of transition, ambivalence, uncertainty. Across cultures, the threshold signals the boundary between the domesticated and the wild, the known and the unknown, and the psychological transformation that occurs when these worlds meet.
