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." |
