Still, as I mused, the naked room,
The alien firelight died away;
And from the midst of cheerless gloom
I passed to bright, unclouded day.
--
Stanza vi.Emily Bronte
How very bright this empire of stars, he mused. Which poet had said that?
Stephen R. Lawhead
Heaven's ebon vault,
Studded with stars unutterably bright,
Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls,
Seems like a canopy which love has spread
To curtain her sleeping world.Percy Bysshe Shelley
Turn where you will, everywhere, the man and the woman ever confronting each other, the man who loves a hundred times, the woman who has the power to love so much and to forget so much. I went on my way again. I came and went in the midst of the naked truth. I am not a man of peculiar and exceptional traits. I recognise myself in everybody. I have the same desires, the same longings as the ordinary human being. Like everybody else I am a copy of the truth spelled out in the Room, which is, "I am alone and I want what I have not and what I shall never have." It is by this need that people live, and by this need that people die.
Henri Barbusse
Vaughan is lurking in the dressing room gloom like some mad woman spying into her next door neighbours' garden.

The writings on the wall at North Point
Speak to a silent room
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom...Mike Oldfield
