| Quotation | In the library I lookesd at that marvelous book The Faces of the Saints [by Wilhelm Schamoni, London, 1948], pictures as near as possible genuine portraits "” contemporary "” of saints. The Patristic one from mosaics were some of the most beautiful. St. Catherine of Siena, too, and another I have forgotten. More modern ones"”some of the death-masks frighten me. |
