Leaving the lights on is also a protest against the coming darkness. I can't remember whose quotation this is, but I remember as a student researching the effects of the Peace of Versailles and reading, "The lights are going out all over Europe" and viscerally feeling the despair of those desperate times. I have lived my life in a safe and quiet corner of the world, but that same despair now haunts my dreams. If the world could vote, indeed... 'Do not go gently into that good night....'
