The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.
I call it God Light, because it reminds me of heaven.
The star shines for everyone in the world, but in reality, it itself is surrounded in darkness.
Gods should be iridescent, like the rainbow in the storm. Man creates a God in his own image, and the gods grow old along with the men that made them... But the god-stuff roars eternally, like the sea, with too vast a sound to be heard.
What I would say is this, that the light is not blinding because God would hide, but because the truth is too glorious for our vision.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
With her braided hair and white dress, she seemed to glow in the moonlight.
The stars blazed like the love of God, cold and distant.

God is truth and light his shadow.
Light is the shadow of God.

Every breath of air and ray of light and heat, every beautiful prospect, is, as it were, the skirts of the (angel's) garments, the waving robes of those whose faces see God.

Light flared through every limb, a force far too great to be contained in any human frame; but for that moment she was the Great Mother, giving birth to the world.
