"The scribe: writings, ink are his special skills. A craftsman, an artist, a user of black paint, a drawer with black paint; a
painter who dissolves colors, grinds pigments, uses colors."
"The good scribe is honest, circumspect, far-sighted, pensive; a judge of colors, an applier of the colors, who
makes shadows, forms feet, face, hair. He paints, applies colors, makes
shadows, draws gardens, paints flowers, creates works of art."
"A bad scribe is dull, detestable, irritating--a fraud, a cheat.
He paints without luster, ruins colors, blurs them, paints askew--acts
impetuously, hastily, without reflection."
