“It was a dark and stormy night.”

“Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure.”

“Darkness was and darkness was good. As with light. Light and Darkness dancing together, born together, born of each other, neither preceding, neither following, both fully being, in joyful rhythm.”

“There was no light. The darkness was deep and there was no dazzle.”

“Wild nights are my glory!”

“There is in God, some say, a deep but dazzling darkness.”

“Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.”
