Prov.10:30
"The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth."


 “To attain/ the highth and depth of thy Eternal ways”~~~Milton


 



“This love of gold and wrought gemstones, this feeling that they reflected an ideal world and had some kind of enduring magic, went on right up to the time when the dark struggles for survival were over. It is arguable that western civilization was saved by its craftsmen. The wanderers could take their craftsmen with them. Since the smiths made princely  weapons as well as ornaments, they were as necessary to a chieftain’s status as were the bards whose calypsos celebrated his courage.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation : 1 The Skin of our Teeth

SKELLIG MICHAEL: “Some of the most offensive omissions were dictated by my title. If I had been talking about the history of art, it would not have been possible to leave out Spain; but when one asks what Spain has done to enlarge the human mind and pull mankind a few steps up the hill, the answer is less clear. Don Quixote, the Great Saints, the Jesuits in South America? Otherwise she has simply remained Spain, and since I wanted each programme to be concerned with the new developments of the European mind, I could not change my ground and talk about a single country.”
 ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation: Foreword

“Looking back from the great civilisations of twelfth-century France or seventeenth-century Rome, it is hard to believe that for quite a long time—almost a hundred years—western Christianity survived by clinging on to places like Skellig Michael, a pinnacle of rock eithteen miles from the Irish coast, rising seven hundred feet out of the sea.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: 1 The Skin of our Teeth
