It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn

But is it literally darkest before the dawn?

The post It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn first appeared on Dissident Voice.

The usage was meant figuratively to refer to bad times being followed by good times.

Literally, however, as the sun approaches the horizon there is a gradual brightening of the sky.
