Vide Noir: the black void.
I have given some thought to the Void. You know the Void: it is that place of despair into which we all fall from time to time.
I have learned that I know what the Void is. English will not do to describe the Void, and so I will name it in another tongue:
gan ghrá
Now that I can name the Void, I can fully embrace it, make it a part of myself -- and by doing so, I will no longer be in danger of falling into the Void, for it will merely be falling further into myself.
The Void, like the creature called forth by Sparrowhawk in A Wizard of Earthsea, will no longer pursue me when I have caught it and brought it into myself.
Imagine how peaceful it will be.
