Madeleine L'Engle book A Wrinkle in Time
A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
Context: 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, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure.
“Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.”
