Light and dark

This reminds me of a question we considered in Happiness class on Thursday: What do we think about Nabokov's "common sense" view of our predicament, our "cradle above the abyss," our "brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness"? And also of "the truest vision of life I know, that bird in the Venerable Bede that flutters from the dark into a lighted hall, and after a while flutters out again into the dark"...
