The "marble faun" of PRAXITELES.

Copilot tells me: 

Certainly! The Marble Faun, also known as The Romance of Monte Beni, is a novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1860. It’s the last of Hawthorne’s four major romances. Set in a fantastical Italy, the story revolves around four main characters:
Miriam: A beautiful painter with an unknown past, often compared to women like Eve, Beatrice Cenci, Judith, and Cleopatra. She’s pursued by a mysterious, threatening man who is her “evil genius” through life.
Hilda: An innocent copyist, often compared to the Virgin Mary and the white dove. Her simple, unbendable moral principles can make her severe despite her tender heart.
Kenyon: A sculptor who represents rationalist humanism. He cherishes a romantic affection towards Hilda.
Donatello: The Count of Monte Beni, often compared to Adam. He’s in love with Miriam and remarkably resembles the marble Faun of Praxiteles. The novel plays with the belief that he may be a descendant of the antique Faun12.
The central metaphor in the novel is a statue of a faun by Praxiteles that Hawthorne had seen in Rome. If you’re interested in exploring connections between literature, art, and historical events, The Marble Faun is a fascinating read! 📖🎨🇮🇹

The sarcophagus that does not belong to Alexander, but is known as the "Alexander Sarcophagus" because there are reliefs on the wars of Alexander the Great with the Persians. This magnificent work, made in the 4th century BC, is thought to belong to King Abdalonymos of Sidon. It was unearthed during the excavations in the Lebanese Kings Necropolis of Sidon (1887) with the great effort of Osman Hamdi Bey. Istanbul Archeology Museum.

THESE TESTIMONIES ARE DECLARATIONS OF INTENT OF A LIVING WILL!
Me costó llegar a entender el significado de estas declaraciones de Voluntad de Vida que estos artefactos representan. Llegué a entenderlas cuando la barbarie empezó a abandonarme, conforme me fui CIVILISANDO!
Me costó entender que esto también significa:
Fil.1:6
"estando persuadido de esto, que el que comenzó en vosotros la buena obra, la perfeccionará hasta el día de Jesucristo;"
Phil.1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"

Venus de Milo
Aphrodite of Milos (Greek: Αφροδίτη της Μήλου, Aphroditi tis Milou), better known as the Venus de Milo, is an ancient Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Created sometime between 130 and 100 BCE, it is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to the Romans). It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high. Part of an arm and the original plinth were lost following its discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; earlier, it was mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles.

Psalm 50:2
"Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined."



“A thing of beauty is a joy forever”John Keats (1795–1821)

A THING of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Macbeth:

ACT I

SCENE I. A desert place.

Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches
First Witch
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Witch
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.
Third Witch
That will be ere the set of sun.
First Witch
Where the place?
Second Witch Upon the heath.



Exploring and The Waste Land

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
