Classical Lion
Classical Lion with the feeling of the high renaissance complete with Latin inscriptions from Horace.   This is a story about the christians in the Roman Arena and in the work I have taken a quotation from Horace (great Roman poet)Odes book 3. .   The emperor wartches as the gladiator holding an his right habd a palm in the shape of a cross; above him on the Roman colums eagle fly to symbolicaly heaven the thought that the spirit never can be vanquished.

When you meet the poet
That hour is blessed when we meet a poet, the poet is brother to a Dervish he has no country nor is he blessed with the things of the world, and we poor creatures that we are. are worrying about fame power and riches, the poet stands on a basis of equality with the power of the earth and people bow down for him. Pushkin

Perhaps this is an indictment of spirituality a mandate for the noble profession to record what has moved you and enlightened your world. by making paintings, or poetry you enter a timelessness mental state and record with all your God given skills for posterity  Drake
