Description:Excerpt from The Image Passing Before Us: A Sermon After the Decease of Elizabeth Howard Bartol These words describe the chief part of human perception, which is not of things outside in broad day, but of objects within, under that dark magic lantern of the brain called memory, imagination, association, affection, many slides and countless pictures with one interior light. While the worship of graven images was forbidden by Moses, and Paul told the men of Athens, Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, they ought not to think the Godhead like anything graven by art and man's device, no law can prevent our beholding and loving other images which no chisel carves or pencil draws. Images of things, plants, flowers, hills, stars, sky and sea, and still more often of dear human faces moulded and painted by a divine hand, yet glowing or with all earthly clay and color gone, dance or solemnly troop before this inward sight, which the latest science teaches is inward always. Indeed the act of vision only seems to take place in the air, really occurring with the passage of forms on the wings of light by a curious course among the convolutions which the skull conceals. How large measure is this image-beholding, with eyes shut or open, of our daily life! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
