Matthew Stover: “The Brightest Light Cast the Darkest Shadow”
Photographers Unknown, The Brightest Light Cast the Darkest Shadow
“The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.”
–Matthew Stover

Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.”
