I crawled over the mountain of death, Watching the corpses roll down like the stones. Searching for the light which everyone always spoke of. I fought the wolves and also the death, and knocked the door, which already had a thousand handprints, soaked with blood. The door opened finally and I saw the light, which hit me in the heart and pushed me down the steep. I fell into the never ending pit, watching others crawl up the mountain in the search of light.

About This Quote

This is a poem by a certain Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It talks about how you have to find your own light in the darkness. It talks about how difficult it can be to find your own way, and how many people have failed miserably in their lives. The last line of this poem is that "I found the light when I looked up from the pit." This shows that no matter how much effort you put into things, you may not get there. The important thing is to keep looking up.
