Darkness is more than a shade of nightfall. It is a feeling as though there has been an eclipse not only within what should be a vibrant life inside you but in all that is good around you.

It’s not the light that’s attracting me, but the darkness that’s driving me on.

The door closed and darkness claimed the room.

This means, in a way, that true light is dependent on the presence of other lights. Take the others away and darkness results. Yet the reverse is not true: take away darkness and there is only more darkness. Darkness can exist by itself. Light cannot.

It was frustrating to still be in the dark about something and be given only so little light.
