But Men Loved Darkness rather than Light
--------
by Richard Crashaw
The world's light shines, shine as it will,
The world will love its darkness still.
I doubt though when the world's in hell,
It will not love its darkness half so well.

Dark Seed Begs A Black Crop
Seed was planted, man's heart found death is dark,
where great truth was recanted,
misery brazenly stark
Black hearts race forth , never getting their fill,
falling forever downward,
where Fate delivers its kill.
