[Scriptoris] A fun quote

[Elaine]

A fun quote taken from the 1989 "Artful Letter" series on the page by  
Ann Hogue:

"There was a man born blind, who had several apprentices in his own  
condition. Their employment was to mix colors for painters, which  
their master taught them to distinguish by feeling and smelling; it  
was indeed my misfortune to find them at that time, not very perfect  
in their lessons; and the professor himself happened generally to be  
mistaken. This artist is much encouraged and esteemed by the whole  
fraternity." ---- Jonathan Swift, "Gulliver's Visit to the Grand  
Academy of Lagado.

I once had a watercolor teacher say that more than two colors will  
give you "mud." Another teacher told us to save the "mud" because we  
could use it as "mother color" to temper colors that were too  
bright.-------- Not "One man's meat is another man's poison" but of  
the same ilk,  don't you think?

(Still giggling)
