The Bible In Paintings >>> Featured Artists Series ✝️ The Best of LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY ✝️

To: Hebrews 11:6

The 'mastery' is anything but. It's simply that I don't really know anything, so I'm always looking stuff up. Drives people nuts, but anyone can learn much by not knowing anything.

Consider how the Dark Side operates: it never learns because it already knows everything already. Worse, it'll project its know-it-all persona onto the very people who are always needing to look something up!

Bizarre.

Funny thing -- I've been a big fan of dictionaries, thesauruses, encyclopedias, and etymologies since I was a little kid. I've always appreciated the freedom to roam around the material in no particular order -- none of this falling-asleep-while-trying-to-finish-a-paragraph trouble.

A big fan of the 'word', literally.

Supposedly our eyes see everything upside down, so the brain got smart and flipped everything back over. That way we wouldn't be trying to walk on the ceiling, or something.

I suspect there's a special reward for those who caught on to their mischief and learned how to walk on the ceiling anyway.

🙃

“In the beginning of his career, Tiffany used cheap jelly jars and bottles because they had the mineral impurities that finer glass lacked. He began making his own glass.

Ha, there's always a song to be made. Remember this one?

Dan, I haven’t seen etabeta yet...

Knowing how much she loves glass, I just hope she hasn’t swooned away in unconscious joy...

Dan, here Mr Ezekiel has done it again; he’s come up with something both funnie, and profound; an idea that we ponder.

I believe this one deserves posting to my ‘Special Quotes’ file, and Mr Ezekiel will be fully credited.

Thank you, John. “Behold, I stand at YOUR door and knock.”

Tiffany was the Master.

I was wondering the same...if we need to pass the smelling salts or something...

I did not know he also made the glass itself. This explains why each little pane looks like opals or pearls...They are perfection even before they are assembled into compositions.

Wonderfully stated, K! And then the compositions themselves will do, until something better comes along.
