"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Tell.

Hawksmoor, Composite Section, Plan, and Elevation of 16-bay Dome, St. Paul's, 1693



If these stones could tell the story
of our joys and tears
they would sing ‘To God be glory!’
till the Lord appears:
walls and pillars, bell and tower,
tell your power through the years.

Reverend Christopher Idle
