When the airless wind shall sing, When the broken circle mends, When the brightest day dawns without light, And the brittle night comes softly without darkness, I shall yet remember. -Lloyd Biggle, Jr.
I liked the poem. It compelled me to search Lloyd Biggle, Jr.
Based on the brief passage you linked, this Biggle quote seems fitting to his protagonist Jan Darzek:
