God often lays
the sum of His amazing providences in very dismal afflictions; as the limner* first puts on the dusky colors, on which he intends to draw the portraiture of
some
illustrious beauty.
Stephen Charnock
*limner - A limner is an illuminator of manuscripts, or more generally, a painter of ornamental decoration

I had to read this 4 times before I got it. I must be tired! It is good~ ♥
I am very glad that even though tired you took the time to read it four times, it is more than worth it! And it is so true.
