George Leo Haydock, on Gen 1:4

“And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.”

“Good; beautiful and convenient: — he divided light by giving it qualities incompatible with darkness, which is not any thing substantial, and therefore Moses does not say it was created. (Calmet) — While our hemisphere enjoys the day, the other half of the world is involved in darkness. St. Augustine supposes the fall and punishment of the apostate angels are here insinuated. (L. imp. de Gen. ) (Haydock)”
