On a Gloomy Moment
As we enter deepest January, Adam Gopnik reflects on light and dark - from the natural world of the ghost moth to modern American politics.
In deepest, darkest January, Adam Gopnik muses on light and dark.
Adam reminds us that - from the natural world of the ghost moth to the politics of today's America - although we live in a 'gloomy moment' we can 'adjust our eyes to the gloom.'
'Every little bit of light we make,' writes Adam, 'in every decent thing we do and every indecency we refuse to accept, illuminates some small corner of our universe. Even at night, after all, we still see light. The stars shine, too.'
