"Grace upon grace"!

 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. ... And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." (John 1:14.16)

I've been reading this verse over and over again...and rejoicing in the truth that it imparts. Chapter one of the book of John is breathtakingly poetic.

I shall venture to rearrange it as I like to read it. The block letters are for special emphasis. What a wonderful verse of scripture!

And the Word
became flesh 
and dwelt
among us, 

And we have
seen his glory,
glory as of the
only Son 
from the Father, full
of grace and truth.

And from his fullness 
we have
all received, 
grace 
upon grace!

For Alcman and Mimnermus, they were even more primordial, springing from Uranus and Gaia. Pausanias records a tradition o

sculpturesque!

"Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature, That fashions all her works in high relief, And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth, Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire; Men, women, and all animals that breathe Are statues, and not paintings. " H.W Longfellow
