How high was he when he fell
Various ways to read this! One way: “Look at the waste of all this good paint!” While a human being lies dead beside them. What does it say in the Bible? None are so blind as those who will not see!
Dear Gary, unbelievable: I missed it. I simply missed the point you mention! I focussed instead on the fact that here we have a visionary with his vision in polar contrast to the colourlessness of the reality surrounding him, with his vision dysfunctionally spilled about.
Thanks for the point!
Unfortunately,this is an accurate comment regarding relationships between people and reactions of people to events within society; superficiality wins as human beings turn their backs to what is most profound.
More makes a good point about visionaries: usually, they must be sacrificed for their vision to be recognised. The colourlessness? Perhaps the vision will penetrate, perhaps it will not. It goes to show: perception is open to interpretation.
