The man who opened the windows of heaven

The man who opened the windows of heaven

“Who were the two artists of ancient times who competed to see who could paint the visible world most faithfully? ‘Now I shall prove to you that I am the best’, said the first, showing the other a curtain which he had painted. ‘Well, draw back the curtain’, said the adversary, ‘and let us see the picture’. ‘The curtain is the picture’, replied the first with a laugh.” (Nikos Kazantzakis)
