"In essence whiteness is not so much a color as the visible absence of color; and at the same time the concrete of all colors; full of meaning. And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues, the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues, the great principle of light, for ever remains white or colorless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge."
