Nyctophobia

"What are fears but voices airy?
Whispering harm where harm is not.
-Wordsworth              "Fear of the dark is not fear of the absence of light, but fear of possible or imagined dangers concealed by the darkness." -William Lyons
"...nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
---- FDR"Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark." -Francis Bacon

"Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to find you." - David Whyte
