The Lamb “Little lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life, and bid thee feed By the stream and o’er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wholly and bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice? Little lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Little lamb, I’ll tell thee, Little lamb, I’ll tell thee; He is called by thy name, For He calls himself a lamb. He is meek, and He is mild; He became a little child. I a child, and thou a lamb. We are called by His name. Little lamb, God bless thee! Little lamb, God bless thee!” PAUL CÉZANNE "Once we have attained a certain age we find no other support or consolation than in religion." “I am helpless and can render you no service, but as I shall die before you (Emile Zola) I shall intercede before the Almighty for a good place for you.” “Let me repeat what I told you here: you must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, all put into perspective, so that every side of the object, of a plane, recedes to a central point. The parallel lines at the horizon give the extension, that is a section of nature, or, if you prefer, of the spectacle which the Omnipotent Eternal God and Father spreads before our eyes.” (Ibid. EUGÈNE DELACROIX "God is within us: it is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful, which rejoices us when we have done right and consoles us for not sharing in the happiness of the wicked. It is that, beyond a doubt, which constitutes the inspiration of men of genius and which warms them at the spectacle of their own productions." “Does nature promise us that we shall love and possess one another elsewhere, without this disquiet and anxiety that accompany our happiest moments? The woods and the springs tell me so.” (Delacroix, 1971) ALBRECHT DÜRER “The merciful God also help me to a happy end.” “God granted me diligence so that I learned well.” (Ibid. “My father . led an honest God-fearing life, and was a gentle, patient man, friendly to all and thankful to God. He cared little for company and nothing for worldly amusements. He told me every day that we must love God and be honest in our dealings with our neighbors.” (Ibid. “Oh ye Christian men, pray God for help, for His judgment draweth nigh and His justice will appear. Then shall we behold the innocent blood judged and condemned. These are the slain who lie beneath the altar of God and pray for vengeance to whom the voice of God answereth: ‘Await the full number of the innocent slain, then will I judge.’” (Ibid. “All worldly rulers in these dangerous times should give good heed that they receive not human misguidance for the Word of God, for God will have nothing added to His Word nor taken away from it. Hear, therefore, these four excellent men: Peter, John, Paul and Mark.” (Ibid. JEAN, AUGUSTE, DOMINIQUE INGRES “Have religion in your art. Do not believe that you can produce anything of worth . without the elevation of the soul. To see anything beautiful you must see only the sublime. Do not look to the right, to the left, or below. Look only to heaven, and don’t look down toward the earth like pigs who seek in the mud.” (Ingres, “If God will give me the mercy to increase the limited contingent of my works until the great departure. May God also make them a little deserving for posterity.” (Ibid. “May God preserve us.” (Ibid. LEONARDO DA VINCI “I obey Thee, Lord, first for the love I, in all reason, owe Thee; secondly, because Thou can shorten or prolong the lives of men.” "Thou, O God, sell us all good things at the price of labour." (Ibid. “O admirable Justice, Thou First Mover; Thou hast not wished that any force should fail the order or quality of its necessary effects.” (Ibid. “The body is subject to heaven and heaven to the Spirit.” (Ibid. “You think that the body is a wonderful work. In reality this is nothing compared to the soul that inhabits in that structure... It is the work of God.” (Ibid. “A lie is a terrible thing. Even if it spoke great things about God it would take away from God’s grace.” (Ibid. “The works of God are appreciated best by other creators.” MICHELANGELO "Unless Thou show us thine own true way No man can find it; Father! Thou must Lead." "You only are good; Your supreme mercy Help my predicted sinful state, So close to death and so far from God." SONNET would love to want that which I do not want: Between the fire and the heart of ice a veil is present That quenches the fire, so that it prevents The pen in its work, and makes the sheet a liar. I love you with the tongue, and then I pain That love does not reach the heart; nor do I know where It opens the door to the mercy that enters The heart, that casts out every merciless pride. Tear the veil , my Lord, break down the wall That with its hardness slows down The brightness of your light, dark to the world! Send the prophesied light so near to us To your beautiful bride, that in my heart I might burn without doubt, and only you believe. "There is nothing more base and vile on earth such as I am without you I feel and am." (Ibid. 'The vanities of life have taken from me The time to contemplate God." (Ibid. "Half the way that rises up to heaven My dear Lord, and to that aim alone To rise I need your help." (Ibid.

Is fíor-álainn an fís é i láthair na huaire bheith ag féachaint ar na h-uain óga ag damhsa ar fúd na páirceanna agus cuid acu gan bheith tagtha ar an saol ach seal beag agus na cosa ag lúbadh futhú. Pe scéal é, leanann gach aon cheann acu an mhathair atá ag coimeád súile ar an naoinán; cuireann sé ionadh orm go bhfuil gach uan abalta a mháthair a phiocadh amach as scata ollmhór atá scaipthe i bpairceanna áirithe. Dá mbeadh féith na filíochta ionam, chumfhinn dán mholta don ainmhí sciamhach seo ach fágfaidh mé óid den tsaghas sin don bhfile iontach William Blake ina sraith filiochta (pastoral poems) leis an dtideal “Ovis Aries” (March lamb) mar tugann sé onoir shainiúil, speisialta don Uain óg álainn seo a bhorann gliondar chroí ionainn gach Earrach… “Little Lamb, who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee Life and bid thee feed By the stream and o’er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight; Softest clothing, wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice?” Nach n-oireann na focail sin d’áilleacht an Nádúir agus d’ainmhí beag bídeach mar uan, lomrach, anamúil; fis na súl agus bia don anam …
