AB  - .  .  .  Now  do  you  not  see  that  the  eye  embraces  the  beauty  of  the  whole  world?  It  is  the  lord  of  astronomy  and  the  maker  of  cosmography;  it  counsels  and  corrects  all  the  arts  of  mankind;  it  leads  men  to  the  different  parts  of  the  world;  it  is  the  prince  of  mathematics,  and  the  sciences  founded  on  it  are  absolutely  certain.  It  has  measured  the  distances  and  sizes  of  the  stars;  it  has  found  the  elements  and  their  locations;  it  .  .  .  has  given  birth  to  architecture,  and  to  perspective,  and  to  the  divine  art  of  painting.  Oh  excellent  thing,  superior  to  all  others  created  by  God!  .  .  .  What  peoples,  what  tongues  will  fully  describe  your  true  function?  The  eye  is  the  window  of  the  human  body  through  which  it  feels  its  way  and  enjoys  the  beauty  of  the  world.  Owing  to  the  eye  the  soul  is  content  to  stay  in  its  bodily  prison,  for  without  it  such  bodily  prison  is  torture.
