Mr Sparkles
There's a glittering darkness in you, she said
Oh... the darkness isn't mine,
another put it there
Yes, I know.
But what of the glitter?
That is you and has always been...
What if the darkness wasn't there,
would you still see glitter?
Oh yes, it's radiant you know;
but it shines all there more
against the darkened 'ground
and the darkness never dulls it
Not one bit.

Aww shucks, you'll embarrass me (or yourself)!
Was about to say there is a difference between dull and dullard (I think) when I remembered my grandmother - the simple one, not the good one - whose fav tv show was called Dali Dali (pronounced dahlee dahlee). Now you'd think she was either Indian (sadly not or we could have sent her home) or seriously into Salvador Dali (probably not) but no, it was an Eastern European thing. OK, not strictly Eastern Europe but the Eastern side of Western Europe... but my god, it felt like Moldavia...

Aw, thankies. I should warn you that the writing is in fact a semi-fictionalised account of something that could have once happened, or not.
