...onus of responsibility clearly falls upon the Church. Marcos needs only the most minimal publicity to exploit, while the Vatican and Filipino clergy must take active steps to avert any disasters and then convey their message despite the government's press monopoly. If all goes as planned by the moderates, the visit will legitimize further the ongoing campaign to lift the martial law, if not force Marcos out altogether. Considering the President's stranglehold over the economy and the military, this is indeed a long campaign...

They are meant to convey a sense of pantheistic energy, of intense mood and vigorously articulated feeling-to substitute, in fact, for nature it self. For Still's admirers, this invites comparison with the greatest lyrical nature cycle in modern art, Monet's Water Lilies. Still's vocabulary is too narrow...
