The Dark Door
From Log24.net, Dec. 22, 2003:
“One,
two, three, and we began to sing, our voices high and seemingly distant
in the snow-felted darkness round the house that was occupied by nobody
we knew. We stood close together, near the dark door.
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen.”– Dylan Thomas,
A Child’s Christmas in Wales“The day after Christmas
turned out to be a living nightmare.”– Arthur C. Clarke, Dec. 27, 2004
Adapted from the logo of the
Arthur C. Clarke Foundation:
Dabo claves regni caelorum. By silent shore
Ripples spread from castle rock. The metaphor
For metamorphosis no keys unlock.– “Endgame,” Steven H. Cullinane,
November 7, 1986
