Description
The Darkest Hour Is Just Before The Dawn
The darkest hour has long been used figuratively to mean the lowest ebb.
The English theologian and historian Thomas Fuller appears to be the first person to commit the notion that the darkest hour is just before the dawn to print.
His religious travelogue A Pisgah-Sight Of Palestine And The Confines Thereof, 1650, contains this view:
It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth.

Dave, this is a very intriguing photograph. I am amazed at the light effects on the sculpture. What is the sculpture you photographed for this artwork? It made me think of "Dark Night of the Soul", and St. John of the Cross... Thank you, voted!

Hi Susan - thank you for your great comments and vote - My model for this image was actually a cast iron lamp base - found in my parents attic - It was the figure of a crescent moon with an angel sitting on it - this is a close-up of the face of that moon. - Dave
