I am the sword in the darkness. i am the watcher on the walls. i am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.

Wall Men Light

More From George R. R. Martin

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. it shall not end until my death. i shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. i shall wear no crowns and win no glory. i shall live and die at my post. i am the sword in the darkness. i am the watcher on the walls. i am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. i pledge my life and honor to the night's watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

You named your sword fire? fire? what kind of a boring name is that? you might as well name your sword 'blazing blade' and be done with it. fire indeed. humph. wouldn't you rather have a sword called sheepbiter or chrysanthemum cleaver or something else with imagination?

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.

Virginia woolf wrote, "across the broad continent of a woman's life falls the shadow of a sword." on one side of that sword, she said, there lies convention and tradition and order, where all is correct. but on the other side of that sword, if you're crazy enough to cross it and choose a life that does not follow convention, "all is confusion." nothing follows a regular course. her argument was that the crossing of the shadow of that sword may bring a more interesting existence to a woman, but you can bet it will be more perilous.

The thing i'm absolutely convinced of, no matter how crazy - technological the world is getting, is that people feel more connected through the good works. entertainment, and the sort of soporific effect it has on people and their stress, is one thing.
