The Cloister or the World

by Arthur Hacker


Dear All,  
Here we see the highest form of Love and Ecstasy on the Nun’s face. 
In the background are worldly delights.
The painting begs the question: which one?
The answer is not one or the other, but both.
  We were designed to fulfill ALL aspects of our creation.
William Blake said “The same Law for the Lion and the Lamb is Oppression”
What goes wrong with people is the two worlds judge each other without realizing that we are both like the Wolf and the Lamb,
they have to learn to “lie down together.”


Love,
