Does "feathers of wisdom" have something to do with light and peace, and harmony?

It evokes a sense of peace, and a sense that feathers have so much meaning...yet I don't precisely know what that meaning is.

It says so much in so few words. I read it and there...right there in those three words...is infinity, the truth of the Sages, perhaps the meaning of life...

Well, I guess they do. By forcing me to put it into words, I see that it does.
Up until your question, even though I used words in the post, I was going solely on the images and the impressions.

"Feathers" came from something Ruth at synchronizing mentioned... then I thought of ray-like things on rock-paintings, such as I used for the pic on the January 29 poem in the other blog: I thought feathers around a head might be an image for wisdom's brilliance.
Then the brilliant rays immediately link up to the sun, and the only pix which get the "ray" effect are those with the sun shining through clouds.

And yes, it does mean what you say.

Because any work of art does not end as long as there is intelligence to apprehend it.
My essay on Fritz Lang's film "Metropolis" was a joint effort by Lang and the original production in the 20's, the critics and viewers, and finally myself; a critque of a work of art is a joint effort of the art and the viewer.

Art is not hung on Museum walls like dead butterflies are pinned to mounting board in a lepidopterist's collection...

even though art is hung on walls, it is an illusion.
