Early Medieval Art

Famous quotes containing the words early, medieval and/or art:

    No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The Christos-image
    is most difficult to disentangle
    from its art-craft junk-shop
    paint-and-plaster medieval jumble
    of pain-worship and death-symbol.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Thou madest loose grace unkind;
    Gavest bridle to their words, art to their pace.
    O Honour, it is thou
    That makest that stealth, which Love doth free allow.
    Torquato Tasso (1544–1595)
