 'Study to be quiet'; ten years before Vermeer's interiors were painted Izaak Walton had inscribed these words on the title page of THE COMPLEAT ANGLER.

 

 

 

 

 A note on the phrase itself

“Study to be quiet” is from 1 Thessalonians 4:11 in the King James Bible.

Walton famously wrote it on the title page of The Compleat Angler (1653), and Clifton‑Taylor draws a beautiful line from that biblical‑pastoral ideal to Vermeer’s serene interiors of the 1660s.

Writers on Vermeer often point to the extraordinary stillness that fills his domestic interiors, a quiet so complete it feels almost devotional. Alec Clifton‑Taylor once traced this atmosphere back to an older English source. He noted that the phrase “Study to be quiet” — taken from the King James Bible — had been written by Izaak Walton on the title page of The Compleat Angler a decade before Vermeer painted his most serene rooms. For Clifton‑Taylor, Walton’s gentle admonition captured the spirit of an age that valued inward calm, and he suggested that Vermeer’s paintings give visual form to that same ideal: a world where silence, order, and contemplation become the very substance of art.

Prov.16:28
"A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends."

"I think, anticipating a little, I can drive this point home by a single illustration. When the ghost of Banquo seats itself at that dreadful supper, who sees it? It is not the company. Not even Lady Macbeth. Whom does it accuse? Not the company, and, again, not even Lady Macbeth. Those who see it are Macbeth and you and I. Those into whom it strikes terror are Macbeth and you and I. Those whom it accuses are Macbeth and you and I. And what it accuses is what, of Macbeth, you and I are hiding in our own breasts."

ALL:	Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
	Hover through the fog and filthy air.

The couplet with which the witches take their departure is a confession of their creed. All that is good, "fair," to others is evil, "foul," to them, and vice versa. This applies to both the physical and the moral world; they revel in the "fog and filthy air," and in every sort of mischief and evil-doing from killing swine to entrapping human souls.

The Trinity River is a 710-mile-long (1,140 km) river in Texas, and is the longest river with a watershed entirely within the U.S. state of Texas. It rises in extreme northern Texas, a few miles south of the Red River. Theheadwaters are separated by the high bluffs on the southern side of the Red River.

Robert Cavelier de La Salle, in 1687, called the stream the "River of Canoes". The name "Trinity" came three years later in 1690 from Alonso de León, who called the stream the "La Santísima Trinidad" ("the Most Holy Trinity").^[

The Eye of Horus

The Wadjet (or Ujat, meaning "Whole One") is a powerful symbol of protection in ancient Egypt also known as the "Eye of Horus" and the "all seeing eye". The symbol was frequently used in jewellery made of gold, silver, lapis, wood, porcelain, and carnelian, to ensure the safety and health of the bearer and provide wisdom and prosperity. However, it was also known as the "Eye of Ra", a powerful destructive force linked with the fierce heat of the sun which was described as the "Daughter of Ra". The "eye" was personified as the goddess Wadjet and associated with a number of other gods and goddesses (notably Hathor, Bast, Sekhmet, Tefnut, Nekhbet and Mut).
