I had to look that up and I love it!! Thanks for sharing that, Trumpist. It is beautiful ❤️🇺🇸🇫🇷🌎
“ In a dark time the eye begins to see’: these words by American poet Theodore Roethke eloquently highlight how, in times of great despondency and despair, we can ironically identify ways of seeing that may be beneficial when the darkness lifts.”
I think it means that oftentimes in a dark and difficult time, people find God…and after the difficulties pass, there is a new and stronger spiritual relation with our Creator.
I thought the Latin phrase was beautiful…hopeful ❤️
I'm not sure of Latin but in Spanish the verb 'esperar,' no doubt derived from the Latin, means 'wait' rather than 'hope.' To me that is more affirmative, as in we wait for something we expect to happen, whereas we hope for something uncertain.
Somebody let me a nice hopefully message last night:

Hi Featherjourney!
I read your comment several times and don't actually know what you find beautiful ... 🥴
If it's the Latin sentence, it had been written to me by our dear friend Dick, and I won't claim it ! 😉
Your poetic words are beautiful and very hopeful: nice choice ! 🙏🏻

It was the motto of the City of Geneva, after the dark ages, while waiting for the Reformation:

Hello Wild Bill !
Glad to read your explanation that allows me to understand the wide meaning of this Latin expression !
I wouldn't have think about the history of Reform an protestantism ...
In any case, Grace and Glory go to God ! 🙏🏻✝️🕊️
Amen!
~HOPE~
General meaning: feeling of expectation, a desire or wish for a certain thing to happen.
Biblical meaning: an expectation with certainty that God will do what he has said.
Blessings all!
Amen ! 🕊️✝️
Yes I confess I do believe... 😉
In God I do trust and believe 🙏🏻✝️
