Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John of Damascus "Worshipper of the sun and moon and the evening star this people was, before we brought the priceless boon and held before its eyes the cross." Thus speak the priests of every creed and the Old Gods perish as is due, and the New triumph, till indeed these new are old and men make new. But always as the old creed wanes her votaries will linger yet, and though Lord Christ in Heaven reigns Queen Venus they will not forget. See them, steal forth at still of eve, alert while all the world is sleeping; see the stained altar, see them weave her mystic wreaths while she is peeping through the pale cloud. Just so one day the tale of Christ a tale of Fairy to the new men will seem when they with Venus shall have placed our Mary among the myths of old: they smile handling the crown of thorns; for them the Christian legend will beguile an idle hour, the azure hem of Mary´s robe, the Cherubim, the glistening glories of the sainted are but old fancies growing dim as fade the marvels Vinci painted.
