"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own."
Charles Dickens
"Today the individual must gradually reconstruct inside himself the civilized universe that is disappearing around him."
~Nicolás Gómez Dávila

"I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me afar and anear, alone or in a multitude."
~St. Patrick
IMPERIVM
"My pawing over the ancients and semi-ancients has been one struggle to find out what has been done, once and for all, better than it can ever be done again, and to find out what remains for us to do, and plenty does remain, for if we still feel the same emotions as those who launched a thousand ships, it is quite certain that we came on these feelings differently, through different nuances, by different intellectual gradations. Each age has its own abounding gifts yet only some ages transmute them into matters of duration."
~Ezra Pound
IMPERIVM
"There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect. Men do not quarrel about the meaning of sunsets."

IMPERIVM
“To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator. When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest to all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.”
~C.S. Lewis
IMPERIVM
"I don’t know if I was in a particularly receptive mood or whether it was the day, but this afternoon the trees and the sky and everything had quite an extraordinary effect on me."
~C.S. Lewis

"What is harder than rock?
What is softer than water?
Yet hard rocks are hollowed
out by soft water?"
Seneca
“Culture is the activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s earth.”
~Alfred North Whitehead
