Thank you, Ian. Sorry if I missed this point earlier.

If I understand you correctly, your translation would include a logical link
(which you might or might not mke explicit) something like:

"The day was ashamed... IN THAT the sun went in..."

That is indeed a possible inference. But why do you rule out what to me is
also a possible inference:

"The day was ashamed... WHEN the sun went in..."?

In my opinion, both are possible, neither can be ruled out a priori. So you
need to bring proper arguments for why you prefer one to the other.
