Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art.

If you can't, or won't, think of Seymour, then you go right ahead and call in some ignorant psychoanalyst. You just do that.

We get no good By being ungenerous, even to a book, And calculating profits--so much help By so much reading.

If the devil never roars, the Church will never sing! God is not doing much if the devil is not awake and busy. Depend upon it: a working Christ makes a raging devil!
