Watch This: Not a Speck of Light is Showing

The thing is, this is what Dahl was always getting at, the screaming skull beneath the flesh. Gene Wilder made a good Satan in that flick.

 

The Rowing Song

by  Roald Dahl

Round the world and home again

That’s the sailor’s way

Faster faster, faster faster

There’s no earthly way of knowing

Which direction we are going

There’s no knowing where we’re rowing

Or which way the river’s flowing

Is it raining, is it snowing

Is a hurricane a–blowing

Not a speck of light is showing

So the danger must be growing

Are the fires of Hell a–glowing

Is the grisly reaper mowing

Yes, the danger must be growing

For the rowers keep on rowing

And they’re certainly not showing

Any signs that they are slowing.
