Hyperesthesia

If one could smell the Rings of Saturn…

On Jupiter there are sixty-one colors, one for each moon. Painting
     students make moon-studies in their first color lessons.

It's hard to see in the dark, as it is for hours each day. Painters are
     taught to paint blindfolded. Talented colorists show themselves
     during this exercise.

When they do, they are taken away, as they suffer from a disease
     that only light can cure.

And so for day 1669
