Chapter 194

 

 

"Have you ever paid notice to the shadows cast when the light of a fire is lit? They are the contrary to all that is light: they are its absence. And yet, that is the very reason why such darkness dances to the rhythms played by the incandescence.

Now if I tell you that the light is innocence and darkness, deceptions, would you realise the insight of the comparisons? That the craft of the cunning is to dance to the lilt of the truth in ways that the innocent are bid to believe that the lies sway to their tunes, but in reality, deception remains to be its own and would never coincide with innocence. They would always only find themselves to abide in each other's absence. But they frolic, both alike, to the same tune of the fire."
