The light to which you come at length in the railway tunnel,
and before you reach the end of the tunnel, is the very same
light exactly, as far as its nature is concerned, as the light
into which you come at the end of the tunnel; and the light
which shines from the end into the tunnel increases more and
more from its first shining until you reach the full light at
the end. So the wise man says that the path of the just is as
the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day. The light of the perfect day is the same as the light that
shines in the path all along, and that began to shine even ere
the sun was up. The lights are in nowise different except in
degree.--ALEXANDER MILLER, “Heaven and Hell Here.”
(1847)
