Dear Tom,

You are certainly correct here.

And my contention, to elaborate further, would be: tho' they could not see
it 'then' as they may see it now, it is even moreso that they may not see it
'now' as they saw it then.
This as defferential to the effects it has had since 'then', how or that it
has contributed to the 'now' from which we would see it.

Not merely is the 'lighting' different, but different too is the landscape
which the lighting may be supposed to illuminate.
There was the landscape in which it were arrived, and the landscape whose
topography has adjusted to it's presence.

Like that...

More-or-less.

Phil
