The Boy David
From Springs in the Valley for today:
"Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." (James 1:4)
...[Michaelangelo] went to Rome to carve statues, and found that other artists had taken over all the Carara marble--all but one crooked and misshapen piece. He sat down before this and studied with infinite patience its very limitations, until he found that by bending the head of a statue here, and lifting its arms there, he could create a masterpiece: thus The Boy David was produced.
