Spectacle

What is meaning of 'that spectacle deined me'? Maybe he is uncertain?

Sundown had been accomplished; it had be drowned in the drizzle long before. So that spectacle deined me. But I went forth upon the streets in the drizzle to se what might be there.

Thanx

, seeing the sun go down, also called "sunset". "Spectacle" is used to refer to events which are beautiful to see, or special in some other way, perhaps. "deined" is a misspelling of "denied", from the verb "deny".
