Carver used a narrator to describe the experience the narrator and his wife had when his wife's blind friend visited them. Even though the narrator first does not like him, at the end, he experienced something new to his life and he appreciated to the blind friend. The part the blind friend asked the narrator's wife to allow him to touch her face when he was leaving makes him so angry and the narrator thought there is something wrong with them is funny, it seems that he was sensitiv. Well, not related to the article.
The reason why he wanted to touch her is that based on her voice, he must have formed an image to the narrator's wife. Even though he cannot see her, he could "see" her by touching. The feelings could help us understand something in a different way. At the end of this article, the narrator mentioned that he followed the blind person's advice and closed his eyes to draw the Cathedral, he just followed his heart instead of copying the Cathedral. It could be different from the one he viewed because he has put some own thoughts and feelings into it.
If we just copy something by observation, it could be similar but we cannot get some deeper thoughts and our own ideas. We should create art based on our own thoughts instead of just observing.
