The semicolon's inky side is facing the reader. The semicolon is not visible, except during thick clouds of ignorance which eclipse literature. The illuminated side of the semicolon faces away from the reader, like a moody child. This means that the reading lamp, reader, and semicolon are almost in a straight line, with the semicolon in between the reading lamp and the reader. The semicolon that we see looks very dark, like holes in the face of a mask.
