Can a landscape become a teacher? What is the nature of clarity?
Pericles Giannopoulos, Divine Appearances: the Greek Line & the Greek Color
Page 20
And as the most distant Cycle has its characteristic generic Color and passes through all of its grades, so happens with the second one. And as in the first one every mountain is the whole of it a single shade and each one is a distinct shade, the same happens in the second one, each small rock, each entire hill is a single simple distinct color. And as in the first one the shades revolve constantly in their own particular limits, returning incertain hours and weather conditions, the same happens in the second one, so that we can easily find this way and define the type, the character, their particular kind, their Color.
And as the golden candle travels in the air, so the most distant Sly-Blue Wreath and the nearby Multicolor Cycle and everything, change their face endlessly. Each small rock, height, hill of the near us cycle gives the dress which wore for a while to its next and each dress passes from hand to hand, from the first height to the last one of each cycle. And there isn't any moment when they don't exist, don't show up all the usual dresses of each cycle. And there is literally no MOMENT of stop and there is no MOMENT, in which one height resembles the other.
