“It is light that cheers us when we are downhearted, it is light that brings us solace out of suffering, it is light that beams upon us when we discover some new hidden truth of the universe—it is light that first greets us when we emerge into this world.”
― Eric P. Kelly, The Christmas Nightingale: Christmas Stories of Poland
