‘I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.‘

A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

50:6
…faciem meam non averti ab increpantibus et conspuentibus in me.
I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.Isaiah 50:6
That one took me forever.

Thank you for catching that, Janet!
I shall Korrekt it for next year.
Thank you, as well, for your wonderful examinations of Fra Angelico — real labors of love, which I am very grateful you have shared.

You’re welcome. I originally planned just to post one of his pictures every day for Holy Week because I was worn out after having committed to writing a blog post every day for Lent. It turned out to be a major undertaking, but fun.
In the process, I found an old biography of Fra Angelico online that I am going to read. I’ll send you the link when I get to my home computer if you are interested.

Janet, please do provide the link!
And once again, thank you for sharing your work.
Here it is: http://books.google.com/books?id=4oI5AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
I think that will work if you cut and paste. 1865.
And you are welcome. It wouldn’t be much fun if I didn’t share it.
