the light was upon the world , shining even upon the face of the deep , before your blasphemy could be wrought upon it - and the children of the light were sustained there with milk and honey , and they knew neither sorrow nor shame , nor the sting of old age , of death - and the darkness opened its eyes towards the light , and it saw that it was good - and the darkness so loved the world that it sent its only sons to sow dissent amongst the people , the deceit that lies in the double hearts of men so was the light divided into the light and the firelight , and the children of the light were driven into their refuge , the realm of the moon , the infinite softness of starlight so came they out of zion .
