The great philosopher Pythagoras believed that the eye was like a lighthouse for the soul, that shone a light to help us explore the environment around us and allow us to perceive it. Light is what allows man to experience reality and interpret its beauty. Only when it is absent and darkness fills its place does man acknowledge its importance and its magic. It is a metaphor for glory, pride, and joy.
