“Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness.
The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness, the Darkness disappeared.
The light spread until the patch of Dark thing had vanished,
shining came the stars, clear and pure.
Then, slowly.
The shining dwindled until it, too, was one, and there was nothing but stars and starlight.
No shadows. No fear.
Only the stars and the clear darkness of space,
quite different from the fearful darkness of the Thing”
A wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’ Engle.
