Eye Light Sight

More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

The eye through which i see god is the same eye through which god sees me; my eye and god's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
God Disappointment Eye
We have seen that the son of god created the world for this very end, to communicate himself in an image of his own excellency. ... when we behold the light and brightness of the sun, the golden edges of an evening cloud, or the beauteous (rain)bow, we behold the adumbrations of his glory and goodness; and in the blue sky, of his mildness and gentleness.

But i have a problem with the term 'light'. i never in my life knew what to do with that. i know that people have mentioned on some occasions that 'richter is all about light', and that 'the paintings have a special light', and i never knew what they were talking about. i was never interested in light. light is there and you turn it on or you turn it off, with sun or without sun. i don't know what the 'problematic of light' is. i take it as a metaphor for a different quality, which is similarly difficult to describe. good.

The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.
