Summary
‘O for the night that was ending, for the sleep and the wakefulness, the toughness and the tenderness mixed, the sweet temper, the safety in darkness. Would such a night ever return?’
— Maurice, E. M. Forster-*-
"The world rests in the night. Trees, mountains, fields and faces are released from the prison of shape and the burden of exposure. Each thing creeps back into its own nature within the shelter of the dark. Darkness is the ancient womb. Night-time is womb-time. Our souls come out to play. The darkness absolves everything; the struggle for identity and impression fall away. We rest in the night."
— Anam Cara, John O"Donohue-*-
Gods take their rest and the city of Black Coral sings.
