I am sure y...Ah, this is great news, dear S&J!<br /><br />I am sure you were expecting a Chesterton quote now, and I will not disappoint you-two:<br /><br />...whenever a man assumes "culture" in order <br />to admire antiquity, he is becoming all that is crude and vulgar in order to study what is ancient and sublime. A boy looks at a steam-engine with much more notion of its meaning than an art-critic looks at a cathedral. For all the ancient things truly exist only to teach us to be young. The quaintest carved font exists only that we may be born again, and be babyish. The most venerable altar only exists that we may be married again and go on another honeymoon. It is a very good thing, by the way, to be frequently married again - always, of course, to the same person.<br />[GKC ILN Oct 9 1909 CW28:407]<br /><br />God bless you both!Dr. Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666301445831509481noreply@blogger.com
