The Venerable Priest Fray Antonio Maldonado; a native of Salamanca and the son of Noble and wealthy Parents; Primogeniture of considerable revenue, for which cause he was betrothed to the daughter of a Vassal Lord.
On the day of his engagement’s celebrations, he entered a tournament, richly adorned and gallantly dressed. That night he could find no rest, in consideration of the impermanence of the world’s glory; and so, in the morning, with gallant resolution, he fled to the Convent of Our Father San Francisco, where he took on [...]39_9Apr200008:56:[log in to unmask] |

This subject is not within my competence, but I will look forward to hearing about it in 2001. Meanwhile, I've received your notes on my paper. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have tried to embody them in the short version, which entailed some changes & cuts. It is still within your 18-minute limit. When I begin on the long version of the paper I'll be able to amplify them. - Aline Hornaday [...]40_08Apr200016:45:[log in to unmask] |

We have a different timeline here. I live in a house that's 170 years old,
and by American standards that's a very old house. But in Europe there are
houses that are 1,000 years old.
But you're right, and thank you for giving me a new way to look at it. I was
thinking of Europe as the home of all those famous cathedrals that get
pictured in the art history books, and that are probably on some UNESCO list
of world treasures. One doesn't see New York's famous churches--Saint
Patrick's, Saint John the Divine, the Little Church Around the Corner, or the
Basilica of Saint John in Brooklyn--pictured in the art history books. On the
other hand, the beautiful little village churches I saw in Austria aren't
regarded as "key monuments of art history" either.
If you ever know you're coming to New York, give me a few months advance
notice. I'll take you on a tour of churches and synagogues.
