    The Ancient One says

    Life's Canvas
    Edgar Guest

    Sunshine and shadow and laughter and tears,
    These are forever the paints of the years,
    Splashed on the canvas of life day by day,
    We are the artists, the colors are they.
    We are the painters, the pigments we use
    Never we're wholly permitted to chose.
    Grief with its gray tint and joy with its red
    Come from life's tubes to be blended and spread.

    Here at the easel, the brushes at hand,
    Each for a time is permitted to stand.
    White was the canvas when first we began,
    Ready to picture the life of a man.
    Now we ar splashing the pigments about,
    Knowing the reds and blues must give out,
    Soon we must turn to the dull hues and gray,
    Painting the sorrows that darken the way.

    Now with the sunshine and now with the shade
    Slowly but surely the picture is made.
    Even the gray tints with beauty may glow
    Recalling the joy of the lost long ago.
    Let me not daub it with doubt and despair,
    Deeds that are hasty, unkind and unfair,
    But when the last bit of pigment is dried
    Let me look back at my canvas with pride.

    - From THE LIGHT OF FAITH 1926

    No problem! I hope you enjoy the series. If you like Holly Black, you should check out Charles de Lint as well. The Onion Girl is my favorite of his. Happy Reading! :)
