I will say to it, 'He is the light of the world, he will go and dwell in the light of the world. This is the holy house, of which it was said, 'And the nations shall walk in its light'" - Shimon, the Torah, the interpretation of the Judges, will be understood, and so: "It is better for him if his light is extinguished in him/ and a thorn will fall down "A light/ Here is a blind man like this/ Whose darkness is still light" - Shaul Tchernychowski/ A miraculous rose, and so: "Whose light is extinguished/ And buried in the dust/ With bitter weeping will they not awaken/ They will not return here" - Yankela Rotblit/ A poem for peace)
