“Oh do not fear the darkness, it is the home of light. Had we no dark skies over us, ne’er we’d see stars so bright. Deep in our light ring of iris, we have a pupil dark, for darkness is what bright light does trembling long to mark. Oh do not fear the darkness, it is the home of light. Oh do not fear the darkness, it is the core of light” (poem by Erik Blomberg, English translation by Linda Schenck
