To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Deborah Kerr Passes
Classy -- she practically defined the term. Deborah Kerr has passed away. The news saddens me and brings back so many memories -- the clinch with Burt Lancaster in the surf in "From Here to Eternity"; the missed meeting at the top of the Empire State Building in "An Affair to Remember"; the meeting with Yul Brynner's King of Siam in "The King and I" and so many more.
Say goodbye to a lady.
