Famous stanza about the despair and futility of prison life, from The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde. From a pre-1942 edition of The Works of Oscar Wilde (the writer, playwright and wit who lived from 1854 to 1900): The vilest deeds like poison weeds,/ Bloom well in prison-air;/ It is only what is good in Man/ That wastes and withers there:/ Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate,/ And the Warder is Despair.

Python, in Greek mythology, a huge serpent that was killed by the god Apollo at Delphi either because it would not let him found his oracle, being accustomed itself to giving oracles, or because it had persecuted Apollo's mother, Leto, during her pregnancy.\n\nThe fresco shows the Omphalos stone covered with a net and the Python wrapped around it. A priestess stands at left with a sacrificial bull.\n\nA detail from a sacrificial scene shows a bull being brought to the omphalos - Made up of a stone and a snake it represents the navel of the world - Apollo plays the zither.\n\nThe ancient Greeks also used omphalos to refer to a sacred, rounded stone in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi that was supposed to mark the center of the earth.
New Orleans, USA - Dec 11, 2017: Ancient biblical text page opened on public display at the iconic St. Louis Cathedral at the French Quarter. Feature ornate decorative drawings and artful manuscripts.
The oldest part of the church - the nave - dates back to around year 1250 and is the only part of the original building, about year 1300 the 8 arches were build in and in 1350 the first frescoes were painted on the chancel arch at the choir, they portraits the four evangelists. Then 150 years later the church was white-washed and decorated by the much so mysterious Elmelundemestrer. In the beginning of the 16th century the old choir was replaced with the one present today and the tower was build.\nThe frescoes was covered for many years but then in 1932-34 they were brought back into the light. Due to the massive layer of dust the frescoes had been protected from the white-wash and in order to bring them forward the restorer only had to dry-out the church and knock/peel of the outer coat of white-wash.
