Darkest Hour is that before the Dawn


“The darkest hour is just before dawn”... I have always known this is true. And so it is.

Fortuna spins her wheel at random. It is a spin. And the wheel turns round and round.

"Are you trying to stay the force of her turning wheel? Ah! dull-witted mortal, if Fortune begin to stay still, she is no longer Fortune."

If you ever feel your luck has run out, be happy! Because when Fortune's wheel is lowest, it must turn up again. When things have come to their worst, they must mend.

In Latin: The sun rises after the clouds ;) It's similar in Romanian: After rain, sunshine. But I like the darkest hour before dawn more. It gives a sense of immediacy. And you know you're safe!
