The Darkness of Mere Being
Carl Jung
As far as we can discern,
Carl Jung
the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
Edgar Allan Poe
Deep into that darkness peering,
Edgar Allan Poe
long I stood there,
Edgar Allan Poe
wondering, fearing, doubting,
Edgar Allan Poe
dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Octavio Paz
No one behind, no one ahead.
Octavio Paz
The path the ancients cleared has closed.
Octavio Paz
And the other path, everyone's path, easy and wide,
Octavio Paz
goes nowhere.
