The phrase "darkness visible" appears in John Milton's Paradise Lost, Book i, line 62:
- A dungeon horrible, on all sides round,
- As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames
- No light; but rather darkness visible
- Served only to discover sights of woe,
- Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
- And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
- That comes to all, but torture without end
- Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed
- With ever-burning sulphur unconsumed.
