THE EYE DISTINGUISHES
------------------------
The world was a night, and we travellers in the dark, till the sun of the prophets arose, and cried, "Begone O slumber; welcome, O pure light!" Now the eye sees how to distinguish colours, it sees the difference between rubies and pebbles.

The eye distinguishes jewels from dust, Hence it is dust makes the eyes smart. Makers of base coin hate the daylight, coins of pure gold love the daylight, because daylight is the mirror that reflects them, so that they see their own perfect beauty.
