From a post of October 25, 2002 —
"A work of art has an author and yet,
when it is perfect, it has something
which is essentially anonymous about it."
— Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
This flashback was suggested by a quotation
in today's previous post —
"Go back to the darkest roots of civilisation
and you will find them knotted round
some sacred stone or encircling
some sacred well."
— G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy , Ch. 5 —
"The Flag of the World."
