Light can not be seen. At great heights reached by aeronauts the
heavens seem black, and the stars come out and twinkle against
a background of jet. Yet this unfathomed deep of darkness is
light and nothing but light. Whatever object the light falls
upon shines; every object that produces it shines; but the light
itself is not seen.
God is light. No man hath seen him at any time, but there is no glory
that does not come from Him. No light shines on earth that did not come
from heaven. Yet a man may sit by his little lamp and forget the sun
and stars. (Text.)
(1852)
