Description:Excerpt from Women of the Cell and Cloister This beauty of the desert, which has found its most perfect description in modern times, must insensibly have affected the thoughts and aspirations of the ancient Fathers. Green, the colour of life, that in Northern climes lays soothing touch upon weary eyes and brain, was absent from the picture unless, indeed, the vivid emerald of the garden of Egypt entered into the anchorite's distant perspective, intensified in tone by the black Nile, and perhaps by a ash of dark blue sea. In that air of telescopic clearness, the far mountains burned with the glow and definition of missal illuminations - incandescent scarlet and aming violet the very stones of the desert, amid the pale undulations of sand, shone orange and amber and black and purple, as if they were damp with water. White stones, heaved up by some convulsion at the beginning of time, assumed through incalculable ages strange and stranger shapes: they peopled the place with shadows of fearful intensity. But not always was the desert sharp-cut in outline sometimes the mountains would become uprooted, and oat, pink and lilac, in blue haze or liquid mists of grey-rose, or molten gold would fill the wastes with a soft or dazzling glory. The effect of such scenes on the mind can only be described in paradox. In these vast solitudes and unbroken silences man felt himself infinitely little and infinitely great the changing Splendours, divorced from all human occupations and human needs, crushed, and at the same time exalted him.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
