Description
The complex and always evolving relationship between the liturgy and the wide range of art that it influenced is the subject of the thirteen scholars who present their recent work in this richly illustrated volume. The authors’ approaches are as varied as the objects they examine, which range from sumptuous codexes, altarpieces, metal shrines, ivories, and the expansive stained-glass windows of the Sainte-Chapelle to more humble artifacts such as baptismal fonts, choir stalls, and drinking horns.

by Mark StrandPublication Details
Book, 1st ed, Knopf, 2000Description
In one, we sit with the teenage Mark Strand while he reads for the first time a poem that truly amazes him: “You, Andrew Marvell” by Archibald MacLeish, in which night sweeps in an unstoppable but exhilarating circle around the earth toward the speaker standing at noon. The essay goes on to explicate the poem, but it also evokes, through its form and content, the poem’s meaning — time’s circular passage — with the young Strand first happening upon the poem, the older Strand seeing into it differently, but still amazed.
