Graphic History of Architecture by John Mansbridge

[separatioleprosorum-deactivated]

In the cathedral, the whole Christian revelation, the drama of medieval religion, is made manifest in tangible forms with those symbolical meanings which Durandus explained at length. Very little of what medieval men built or painted or wrote can be fully comprehended without some understanding of the mode of observation and thought which expressed itself by means of symbolism and allegory. In this way of looking at things and thinking about them, the visible object is clothed with supernatural significance, and the abstract conception given concrete form in an image. The ox is not only a beast of burden, it is the symbol of Luke the Evangelist, because the ox is an animal fitted for sacrifice; it has two horns, moreover, representing the two testaments; it figures Christ, the sacrifice for man.

Empress Michiko Poem

Here’s a waka poem, a traditional Japanese poem, composed by one of my favourite royals, Empress Michiko of Japan. I love how she summed up reading in so few syllables. 

“How many times Did I find along the way Comfort and solace In the sheltering shade Of a wood by the name of books.”
