Here where North, the night, the berg of deathCrowd me out of the ignorant darkness,I see at last that all the knowledge I wrung from the darkness—that the darkness flung me—Is worthless as ignorance: nothing comes from nothing,The darkness from the darkness. Pain comes from the darkness And we call it wisdom. It is pain.
