More From Helen Keller

What the art historians had forgotten is that in chinese, japanese, persian, and indian art, they never painted shadows. why did they paint shadows in european art? shadows are because of optics. optics need shadows and strong light. strong light makes the deepest shadows. it took me a few years to realize fully that the art historians didn't grasp that. there are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures.

When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Shadow Faces Sun
The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.
Girl Rain Flower
Toward seven o'clock every morning, i leave my study and step out on the bright terrace; the sun already burns resplendent between the shadows of the fig tree, makes the low wall of coarse granite warm to the touch. here my tools lie ready and waiting, each one an intimate, an ally: the round basket for weeds: the zappetta, the small hoe with a short haft . . . there's a rake here as well, at at times a mattock and spade, or two watering cans filled with water warmed by the sun. with my basket and small hoe in hand, facing the sun, i go out for my morning walk.
Weed Morning Wall
Thin clouds form, and the shadows lengthen out. they have no breadth, as summer shadows have; there are no leaves on the trees or fat clouds in the sky to make them thick. they are gaunt, mean shadows that bite the ground like teeth. as the sun nears the horizon, its benevolent yellow begins to deepen, to become infected, until it glares an angry inflamed orange. it throws a variegated glow over the horizon.
Summer Mean Sky
I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days. these shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. and i am afraid i am just as delighted as he is.
