Divine Comedy

I... awoke to find myself
alone in a dark wood ....

~ Dante Alighieri, The Inferno, canto I

Being here can sometimes be like suffering in sable- but suffering nevertheless. The wood is beautiful, the light does not seem too dim. It reminds me of Ps 23:

You spread a full table before me,
even in times of great pain.

You can't argue with beauty. Bummer.
