Great Art, Art, Verse

[deliasherman]

1.  Great Art:  Peter Breughel the Elder's "The Procession to Calvary."

It's one of those magical paintings that erase time and space and physics to show us hard truths:  that religion can destroy divinity, that the status quo never tires of killing anybody that challenges it, that humanity endures.

2.  Art:  The Mill and the Cross.

"Fathers" struck a nerve; my mother had a stepmother almost as bad as those in fairy tales, and I couldn't help thinking of her as I read this poem.

Beautifully done, too.
