Portrait Seaconnect&FHTR copyright

In his novel The Journey Of The Fool, Fady Bahig puts on the tounge of his protagonist those words:
"... portraits, with their blurred edges fall much closer to the heart of the beholder than photographs with their well-defined edges. Portraits have always given me the feeling of perceiving people as eternal or as manifestations of eternity, as if I have been familiar with them for the whole eternity that preceded my essence."
