She Teaches Me to Be a Brave Man in the Dark, and I Look After Her Until She Can Bear the Heat of the Sun

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s “Day Boy and Night Girl”:

‘If ever two people couldn’t do the one without the other, those two are Nycteris and I.

She has got to teach me to be a brave man in the dark, and I have got to look after her until she can bear the heat of the sun, and he helps her to see, instead of blinding her.’
