The Idea of Light
I turn on the light in a dark room; naturally the lit room is no longer the dark room; I have lost it forever.

Yet isn’t it the same room? Isn’t the dark room the only content of the lit room? That which I can no longer have, that which infinitely flees backward, and likewise thrusts me forward is only a
representation of language: the dark which light presupposes.

But if I give up the attempt to grasp this pre-supposition, if I turn my attention to the light itself, if I receive it - what the light gives me is then the same room, the non-hypothetical dark. That which is veiled, that which is closed within itself is the only content of the revelation - light is only the coming to itself of the dark.
