Jeremiah 13:16: Give glory to the LORD your God, before He cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. (KJV)
To become blind is the ultimate nightmare for the visual artist; to become spiritually blind the ultimate judgment on our art. No one who intends to reach the heights ought to plan the journey in darkness; when your world is turning to grey, be very careful where you walk.
