The darkness of the night.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic
The darkness of the night.

My love of the night let us be true to one another, for the world that lies before us, a land of dreams so various, so beautiful, so new, does not have neither joy nor love, nor light or certitude or peace or help for pain, and here we stand on the darkest plain swept with confused thoughts and struggles and flight where the ignorant armies clash at night and fight.
