A nameless movement, an unthought Idea

Beneath this midnight shade;

And tread the lonely glade.

Events cast long shadows before.
One such event would be a war.
But how are shadows to be seen
When total darkness fills the screen?
Events are the ephemera of history; they pass across its stage like fireflies, hardly glimpsed before they settle back into darkness and as often as not into oblivion. Every event, however brief, has to be sure a contribution to make, lights up some dark corner or even some wide vista of history.
