Darkness

As one great Furnace flam’d, yet from those flames
No light, but rather darkness visible
Serv’d only to discover sights of woe,
Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
That comes to all; but torture without end”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“The darkness of a day elapsed,
of a day nourished with our sad blood.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
