While walking to Elisha's house, the Beggar revealed the more intense virtue of night really reveals.
The tragedy of man is that he does not know how to distinguish night and day.
You mustn't be afraid of the dark, night is purer than day. It is better for thinking, dreaming, and sleeping because everything's more intense
At the front of Elisha's house, the Beggar spoke to Elisha about the art of distinguishing between day and night before disappearing into the snow.
Would you like to come in?
No, I must be on my way. However, I must tell you one last thing, to discern between night and day, you must always look at a window, and failing that look into the eyes of a man.If you see a face...night has succeeded day. Night has a face.
Ever since the Beggar's wise words, the tearful faces' and forgotten smiles of the dead have visited Elisha in passing windows, but on specific night, it was his face on the window
Tonight, the shadowy face of death in the window is my own. It is not that of the Beggar or my father, but my own.
