No single, momentous battle will ever defeat the great evils of the world.
Eventide: Victory is Never Small

No single, momentous battle will ever defeat
The great evils of the world.

When confronted by great good,
Darkness does not contend or compete with the light;
It shrinks away much as the dawn forces aside the night.

Evil never engages in a fight whose outcome
Is not predetermined in its favor.

Rather it lies complacent, patient,
Ever vigilant and opportunistic.

Ever awaiting the light’s decline when,
Once again for a time,

Night may rule the day.
