Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog,
when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness
shut you in and the great ship, tense and
anxious, groped her way toward the shore with
plummet and sounding-line, and you waited
with beating heart for something to happen?
I was like that ship before my education began,
only I was without compass or sounding line,
and no way of knowing how near the harbor was.
"Light! Give me light!" was the wordless
cry of my soul, and the light of love shone
on me in that very hour.
- Helen Keller, activist
