The Silver Limner


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 - limner is an illuminator of manuscripts, or more generally, a painter of ornamental decoration

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.
