I don't usually give up, but I gave up on that one. I got "and dark is a" at one point, but I just couldn't make anything of it and finally just thought, "Oh screw it, I'll play Solitaire."
I quit on that one yesterday, but took it up again this morning. Sometimes I need a reset. It didn’t help that I transcribed the last letter incorrectly( which put the E in doubt) but it went quickly.
