granted you can get pretty fed up with darkness , so when the light comes in , it comes in as a great reliefa relief from the exceptionally long darkness that preceded itbut heres the amazing thing : when the light goes away again , even after a very brief interval , the darkness that comes backalsocomes as a reliefa relief from all that lightand for a while , its completely different from the long , old darkness youd gotten fed up with and has the quality of a new , fresher , virgin darkness , ripe with possibilities . )
