Brooding Presence. The results were not beautiful in the simple sense. Few Moore works are, and Moore makes no apologies. "Most people wouldn't say that a bulldog or a bull is beautiful in the sense that they would say a gazelle is beautiful or a deer," he explains. "But a bulldog, or a bull, or a rhinoceros has a terrific force in him, a strength that even if you don't immediately realize it, you come to recognize as beautiful and important.

...most important, I use the head to give scale to the rest of a figure. If one can give the human meaning of a head without using eyelashes, nostrils and lips, just reduce it to a simplicity-the angle at which it is poised to the neck, say-then by making it small, one can give a monumentality to the rest of the figure that cannot otherwise be given...

Thus, a student who is called a Protestant will admit he is a Protestant but--,and he may well proceed to say that he rejects the doctrines of grace, immortality, and the divinity of Christ. Rather than renascence, we must say that a new birth is taking place, a birth of new and individual religions peculiar to each believing student, and thus an association with one's nominal church in but a three-quarters...
