The lights must never go out,
The music must always play;
Lest we know where we are:
Lost in a haunted wood –
Children afraid of the dark
Who have never been happy or good.
– W.H. Auden, “September 1939”

The very Christians who are accused of being so other-worldly they are useless, are in fact able to face reality with eyes wide open.
