Dark stars is perhaps the answer. If there were a lamp of darkness, it would be possible for a blind man to use it to orient himself in the daytime, so that those of us who see need light to orient ourselves in the dark; absurd, paradoxical, ironic and apparently mocking situations. But this mockery is directed towards the one who sees, who is incapable of understanding a situation that is not his own, a world where the most precious sense, sight, is lacking. If Narcissus had been blind, would he have drowned from his own vanity or from accidentally falling into the pool? Possibly. A world where Oedipus would have been a perennial King.
