Arbitrary night, it will be what we make it! Like every night, we refuse to be blind. Long lies the world in ignorance and vagueness But we are clear on the worth of the mind. A glorious chorus from centuries before us of scientists and scholars comes forward to implore us: "Stand on your feet; you need to bow to no one. On this arbitrary night, let your mind Shine its light. On this arbitrary night, let your mind Shine its light."
