I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain, and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.
-- Robert Frost, March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963
"I like black's authority: Its gravity, its self-evidennce, its radicalism. its powerful strength of contrast gives an intense presence to all other colour, and when it illuminates the darkest of them, it confers to them a sombre grandeur. Black has unsuspected possibilities, and remaining alert to what I do not know, I go to meet them." -- Pierre 2005
