i climbed the stairs to see my father. He was sitting at the front of the attic by the window, where the light touched his face. It was the closest he came now to seeing.
i am reading now the novel by tracy chevalier. please tell me what is the meaning of
"It was the closest he came now to seeing."?
Thank you

I take it that he was no longer capable of viewing / perceiving images, but could detect the presence of bright light.

BTW, we encourage members to use capital letters for proper names, and when beginning sentences. I know they're somewhat out of style for emails and chats. (I'm probably not supposed to use "BTW," either.)
