  3. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    You’ve landed the winning number in the lottery: love in matrimony. You’ve won the big prize, look after it well, keep it under lock and key, don’t squander it, adore each other, and never mind the rest. Believe what I’m telling you. It’s good sense. Good sense cannot lie. Be a religion to each other. Every man has his own way of adoring God. Heavens above! the best way to adore God is to love your wife.
     
    [Vous avez chipé à la loterie le bon numéro, l’amour dans le sacrement ; vous avez le gros lot, gardez-le bien, mettez-le sous clef, ne le gaspillez pas, adorez-vous, et fichez-vous du reste. Croyez ce que je dis là. C’est du bon sens. Bon sens ne peut mentir. Soyez-vous l’un pour l’autre une religion. Chacun a sa façon d’adorer Dieu. Saperlotte ! la meilleure manière d’adorer Dieu, c’est d’aimer sa femme.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    Les Misérables, Part 5 “Jean Valjean,” Book 6 “The White Night,” ch 2 (5.6.2) [M. Gillenormand] (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]

  9. Giambattista Tiepolo's "Adoration of the Magi" beautifully reinterprets a classic narrative, showcasing Mary and the Christ Child amidst a harmonious blend of figures and light. How does Tiepolo's use of asymmetry enhance the emotional depth of this scene?

  10. I suspect that prior to the fall of humanity, what we see in Genesis 2 is meant to teach us how to rightly worship God:

    1. To work and care for the world.
    2. To name the things God puts before us.
    3. To recognize the Image of God in other people and love them.

  11. Humanity’s first words in the Bible are a poem of adoration about another human, and God isn’t mad about it. In fact, God set this up to be good; it solves the “not good” problem of being alone.

    Love your neighbor. It also solves the “not good” problem.

  12. Adoration Of The Magi by Italian painter Bartolomeo Biscaino (1632-1657). He was the son, and pupil, of Giovanni Andrea Biscaino. He afterward became a pupil of Valerio Castelli. His career was cut short by the plague which visited Genoa, and to which his father and himself fell victims.

  13. Aromantic folks, come to my rescue!

    Here's the deal... as usual, I'm baffled by the distinction between romantic love and platonic love.

    Oh, I'm polyamorous, which I'm sure is a factor in how I see relationships.

    I'm a "go with the flow" enby when it comes to relationships. I don't want to force anyone into any pattern. There's no relationship elevator. If a partner and I both agree to move in together, great, but I don't want to pressure someone into this.

    So it seems to me that I'm being intimate with some of my *friends*, and all my loves are platonic.

    I can absolutely love and adore people, but it does not mean that I want to put them on a "relationship elevator."

    I used to think:

    * I'm romantically involved with the people I have sex with.

    * I'm platonically involved with
    all other relations.

    I'm starting to think it's all platonic, but there are some people in the group I do have sex with and some I don't.

    I don't know if I'm making sense. 😂

  16. Adoration of the Magi (1470) by Italian painter of the Sienese school of painting Sano di Pietro (1406-1481).
    Sano was a gifted painter of illuminations and these works share with his illuminations a pleasing, genial, if somewhat conservative, narrative style. His work was much appreciated by the Franciscan order in Siena for its simple, populist character.

  17. From my collection, "Best Images for Christmas"

    Adoration of the Christ Child Gerard Van Honthorst

    The Adoration of the Child shows a moonlit scene with Mary laying the Child in swaddling clothes. Joseph is looking over her shoulder and two angels are leaning over the crib.
