DARKNESS

"Darkness Darkness, be my pillow / Take my head and let me sleep /
in the coolness of your shadow, in the silence of your deep."
--The Youngbloods [band] 1965-1969

"The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, / And the clouds perish'd ;
Darkness had no need / Of aid from them---She was the Universe."
--George Gordon, the Lord Byron 1816
