We associate so many ideas with light: creation, revelation, ideation itself. And of all the natural phenomena, it is light we are most drawn to; we meditate on its impermanence, and its ability to illuminate the dark. Chilean poet Pablo Neruda once spoke to this fascination, which for him was elemental to humanity. “If each day falls inside each night,” he writes, in his anthology , “there exists a well, where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience.”
