the Pope on Beauty

Praise be to God Michael! The work of thy hands doth reveal the very beauty and
compassion of our blessed virgin! How is such glory manifest of simple stone save divine inspiration?

Your Eminence! The glory is God's alone. I have but freed the beauty locked within.

Your humility is befitting your gift dear Michael, and do you suppose Raphael might have freed such beauty?

Your grace, their were infinite beauty within.

And where are they now?

Your Grace! But one could be freed.

You have destroyed infinite beauty for the vanity of the one?

Your Eminence!

Better to have preserved the whole with it's infinite beauty within. Such a divine waste. None the less we must preserve what remains, and it is suited to the limited imaginations of the commoners. Therefore, for their sake continue. And pray which beauty is to be saved.

Thank you your Grace.
