The Biga, Vatican Museum by Francesco Antonio Franzoni

Hope is being able to see that there is light, despite all of the darkness.

— Desmond Mpilo Tutu

P.S.
On a break, be back next week.

I am a part of all that I have met;

Yet, experience is an arch wherethro’

Gleams that untravll’d world whose margin fades

For ever and for ever when I move.

— Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses, 18–21.

Constantine, by Bernini
This is art!

A bell is no bell til you ring it
A song is no song til you sing it
And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love til you give it away.
— Maria, in the Sound of Music
