Objects Colored By The Eye

Illustration★★★★

It may be said, that objects take a color from the eyes that look at them. That is true. The very sun, as well as sky, and sea, and mountains, appear yellow to the jaundiced eye; the brightest prospect wears an air of gloom to a gloomy mind; a sunny temper gilds the edges of life’s blackest cloud, and flings a path of light across its stormiest sea; contentment sits down to a crust of bread .and a cup of water, and gives God thanks; and the plainest face looks beautiful in the eyes of fond affection. Dr. Guthrie.

The point

Our outlook colors how we see the world; a contented, sunny temper finds light even in life's darkest circumstances.
