Rom.8:6
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."

“The sheer technical skill of their journeys is a new achievement for the western world; and if one wants a symbol of Atlantic man that distinguishes him from Mediterranean man, a symbol to set against the Greek temple, it is the Viking ship. The Greek temple is static and solid. The ship is mobile and light.”~~~ Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch1 The Skin of Our Teeth.

The beginning of the Gospel of St. Matthew, from the Lindisfarne Gospels

Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.).  Agamemnon.

"Heaven sends the vengeful fiends of hell.

Even so doth Zeus, the jealous lord

And guardian of the hearth and board,

Speed Atreus' sons, in vengeful ire,

'Gainst Paris-sends them forth on fire,

Her to buy back, in war and blood,

Whom one did wed but many woo'd!

And many, many, by his will,

The last embrace of foes shall feel,

And many a knee in dust be bowed,

And splintered spears on shields ring loud,

Of Trojan and of Greek, before

That iron bridal-feast be o'er!

But as he willed 'tis ordered all,

And woes, by heaven ordained, must fall-

Unsoothed by tears or spilth of wine

Poured forth too late, the wrath divine

Glares vengeance on the flameless shrine."
