I know the first is from Philosphy of Right but I am not sure if the

<div>T. M. Knox's translation: "The owl of Minerva spreads its
wings only with the falling of the dusk". (<i>Hegel's Philosophy
of Right</i>, Oxford, 1942, p.13, final sentence of the penultimate
paragraph of the Preface).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The second one just seems to be a mangled attempt at a
paraphrase.</div>
