# 2023-10-29 - The Taste of Honey by Edna Worthley Underwood |
|
|
|
Redon lived the life worth while. What a vulgar stupidity is money |
|
beside it! It can give neither ideas, emotions, nor even |
|
comprehension or appreciation of what money can buy. The pure joy of |
|
the heart is honey. It dwells hidden in deep centers of flower-gold. |
|
It is not easy to find nor procure. God has to send his winged |
|
messengers to collect the honey of the heart. |
|

Odilon Redon |

|
|
Our land is too new, young, too devoted to the fleeting thing self, |
|
which has progressed no further than today, than that reasoning mind |
|
with which as children we used to learn the multiplication table. The |
|
creating of art has no little in common with teaching of Eastern |
|
philosophies, the death of self. It, too, is an effect of time. It is |
|
proof of rich ripening, under multiple suns. Old World nations |
|
possess this in some degree. The sorrows of much living and |
|
contending faiths have taught them. In addition, Good wears many |
|
faces. Deeper spiritual revelation is theirs, enveloping, then |
|
penetrating the subject under discussion, with something sweeter, |
|
more eloquent, than the sumptuous sunsets of Lorraine, something to |
|
be sought among masters, as wild honey is sought in the forest. To |
|
the mind, indeed, that is what it resembles, The Taste of Honey. It |
|
is something that all but shatters with delight, blinds with |
|
unshakable truth. |
