The World Is Dark...

The world 

is dark, 

but it is not 

hopeless, 

because we only 

need to strike 

stone against 

stone to 

create a 

spark of 

light.

I was reading the New Yorker (yes, I read my dad's magazines, they're interesting!) and I found this article on an American lawyer named Clarence Darrow. The closing of the article, however, summed up his attitude and the way he approached life: "Gentlemen, the world is dark," Darrow told the jury in Oshkosh, "but it is not hopeless." After all, no attorney for the damned ever lacks for work.
