Even such ideals as are purely spiritual we would materialize to serve a passing and questionable need. The Sufi, for instance, has evolved a theory of colors with which to guide his path of vision.

How futile to us these arbitrary denotations. But the Sufi, who sees colors with closed eyes, can distinguish all the variations of a chromatic circle as it develops from a point in vermillion. And he finds ineffable joy in beholding the development and verifying, as it were, his progress in the path of union and vision.
