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
