“To break out of the chaos of my darkness
Into a lucid day is all my will.”
Stephen Spender (1909–1995) English poet and man of letters
"Darkness And Light"
The Still Centre (1939)
Context: To break out of the chaos of my darkness
Into a lucid day is all my will.
My words like eyes in night, stare to reach
A centre for their light: and my acts thrown
To distant places by impatient violence
Yet lock together to mould a path of stone
Out of my darkness into a lucid day.
Jack Kirby (1917–1994) American comic book artist, writer and editor
