The Shadows from Ourselves

It is narrated of the great sculptor, Michael Angelo, that when at work, he wore over his forehead, fastened on his artist's cap, a lighted candle, in order that no shadow from himself might fall on his work. It was a beautiful custom, and spoke a more eloquent lesson than he knew; for the shadows that fall on our work—how often they fall from ourselves.
