Finish, good lady; the bright day is done, And we are for the Dark.
Blind is his love and best befits the dark- Benvolio (in Romeo and Juliet)
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: So, ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
This thing of darkness I acknowlege mine. There is nothing more confining than the prison we don't know we are in.
What should we speak of When we are old as you? when we shall hear The rain and wind beat dark December? how, In this our pinching cave, shall we discourse The freezing hours away?...
What freezings I have felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere!
What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.
The prince of darkness is a gentleman!
Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake- its everything except what it is! (Act 1, scene 1)
Now entertain conjecture of a time, When creeping murmur and the pouring dark Fill the wide vessel of the universe... Chorus Henry V
The instruments of darkness tell us truths...
Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.
I say there is no darkness but ignorance.
