IL Is Concentrated aud VtVified ut
Times by the Absence of Light.
lLondOn speotator.l
Darkness generally diminishes the
springs of energy in man, aud dishart-
ems him for his work; but this, though
true of lasting darkness, can Only be
said with reserve of periodical darkness,
whether physical or moral. There is a
sort of power which only comes TO full
consciousness in darkness. IL tradition
has any truth, it was only blind poet
who has left us the brightest pictures
of "the pure lines of an Ionian horizon,
the LIQUID clearness of an IOnian sky"
Such powder as Milton's, or Samson's
Milton's Hebrew hero, did its greatest
work when cut off from the light which
usually stimulates human energy.
When Beethoven's ears were stOpped
against the sound which was to him
more than light, he composed the
greatestest music.
Darkness, which usually depresses
human energy, sometimes concentrates
and WHITES it. Where the light Is in
ward, external darkness only reveals it.
Athens, Sparta and Rome were all
greatest in their darkest hour; and so
were the great prophets of Israel. There
is something in the mere shock of great
darkness, physical or moral, which
itself kindles II mind rooted in trust.
Not only 80, but even some brilliant
inteIIe ctual lights are struck out OF
darkness. Carlyle never wrote any
thing so impressive as what he wrote in
a sort of despair, and Wordsworth must
have been deeply convinced of the
same truth when he said in his noble
sonnet to Touissant Overture, after call.
ing him 1.-The most unhappy man OF
men,"
"There's not breathing of the common wind
That will forget the thou ha IT great allies;
1hv friends are e1altatlons, agonies
And love, and mans unconquerabe mind.
No man can have felt more deeply
than Wordsworth that it was In the
darkness which brooded over the earth
from the sixth to the ninth hour that
the greatest victory of divine love was
achieved, and certainly no one was
more constant than he in maintaining
that the most tragic of human fates il
fullest of supernatural encouragement
Perhaps even in the mere physical
darkness of our great city's winter there
may be more true regenerating agency
than in that blaze of summer which
seems to represent so much more ade-
quately the genius of creative power.
