In a dark time, the eye begins to see.

Theodore Roethke
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
In a dark time, the eye begins to see.
About This Quote

When you are in a dark place, however, the world begins to seem brighter. It is not meant to be used in a metaphorical sense as it can have a very literal meaning as well. The eye begins to see during a dark time as you begin to see the beauty of the world around you that you have been missing as your vision is clouded by the darkness.
