Daylight is its own color. Beautiful glass lets daylight just be, and the person who gets to behold that natural beauty gets to enjoy daylight's calm possession of surfaces -- those that reflect it and those that merely absorb it. Someone who can sit before such a scene, witness daylight's refusal to claim an exaggerated importance, may learn to grow still and find he does not fear the daily return of shadows.

"Daylight's calm possession of surfaces..." Augh-so, so lovely a touch, so gentle and deft a steering of language to get at the word it surrounds.'
I also like very much the purple glass--vase or container?-- on the sill in the picture. Showing a different facet of daylight, depending on the lens.
The amethyst glass of the lamp on the sill is luscious, isn't it?
