...world tour so much that he repeated it the following year. Now, as he stood contemplating his small frame house, visions of beautiful ladies in Thailand and Singapore, heaving ships at sea, castles on the Rhine bubbled through his brain.

By the end of the day, the wall was decorated with glassy-eyed maidens and churning waves, and Sanford Darling had found...

In the history of a civilization that abounded in images of the Madonna, Gabriel recurred insistently, whether as the impassive, rhythmically contorted enamel figure on the 11th century cover of the Ariberto breviary in Milan or the rainbow-winged presence, solid as a Doric column, who confronts a submissive Mary in Fra Angelico's Annunciation...
