   “Allegory of Magnificence“ (1654) 

      Eustache Le Sueur

           ____________

we have only our magnificence to 

counteract the indignity of our 

incarnation

a flower is itself its only existential 

defence, its effervescence of 

attributes – colour, grace, 

intoxicating aroma – its 

validating glory

we are such things as dreams 

are made of, its a question of 

choosing one’s dreams
