[Epigraph]
It is as though worldly stability had e transparent in the permanence of art so that a
premonition of immortality, not the immortality of the soul or of life but of something immortal
achieved by mortal hands, has e tangibly present, to shine and to be seen, to sound and to be
heard, to speak and to be read.
