GOING BLIND by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BACK TO THE PRIMAL GLOOM
Last Line: "THE THINGS UNSEEN."
Subject(s): BLINDNESS; VISUALLY HANDICAPPED;
Back to the primal gloom
Where life began,
As to my mother's womb
Must I a man
Return:
Not to be born again,
But to remain;
And in the School of Darkness learn
What mean
"The things unseen."
