Romans 12:1
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

"What is civilisation? I don't know. I can't define it in abstract terms - yet. But I think I can recognise it when I see it; and I am looking at it now. Ruskin said: 'Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts, the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art. Not one of these books.can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last.' On the whole I think this is true. Writers and politicians may come out with all sorts of edifying sentiments, but they are what is known as declarations of intent. If I had to say which was telling the truth about society, a speech by a Minister of Housing or the actual buildings put up in his time, I should believe the buildings."~~~Kenneth Clark: CIVILISATION Ch1 The Skin of Our Teeth.

Jorge Luis Borges: Versos de catorce
A mi ciudad de patios cóncavos como cántaros
y de calles que surcan las leguas como un vuelo,
a mi ciudad de esquinas con aureola de ocaso
y arrabales azules, hechos de firmamento,
a mi ciudad que se abre clara como una pampa,
yo volví de las viejas tierras antiguas del Occidente
y recobré sus casas y la luz de sus casas
y la trasnochadora luz de los almacenes
y supe en las orillas, del querer, que es de todos
y a punta de poniente desangré el pecho en salmos
y canté la aceptada costumbre de estar solo
y el retazo de pampa colorada de un patio.
Dije las calesitas, noria de los domingos,
y el paredón que agrieta la sombra de un paraíso,
y el destino que acecha tácito, en el cuchillo,
la noche olorosa como un mate curado.
Yo presentí la entraña de la voz las orillas,
palabra que en la tierra pone el azar del agua
y que da a las afueras su aventura infinita
y a los vagos campitos un sentido de playa.
Así voy devolviéndole a Dios unos centavos
del caudal infinito que me pone en las manos.
