Just finished listening to Agatha Christie’s “Endless Night”. It was an amazing listen. Very unlike in tone and story to Dame Christie’s usual detective stories (but with a plot twist she has used in the past but which nevertheless came as a surprise to me here too). This was a dark story and I enjoyed it!
Came across the following from William Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence” via this book and I liked it a lot:
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Through the world we safely go.Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born,
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
