Dark Light Mind

More From May Sarton

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.
Wall Artist Light
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: so, ere you find where light in darkness lies, your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.

Similar Quotes
The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. when we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphor not because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies "out there" in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.

A lie is more comfortable than doubt, more useful than love, more lasting than truth.

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop

We laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, “it is my will that the sun shall rise”; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, “i wish it to roll”; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, “here i lie, but here i wish to lie.” but, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression “i wish”?
