Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres

Henry Adams

Capitolo 86


All this it was noble over the nobility of man but his/her terrestrial form
you/he/she was inhaled by the empire rather than from the small royalty of
Luigi-she-Gros or his/her queen pious Alix of Savoy. A mark of the
period is the long one oval nimbus,;  another is the imperial character
of the Virgo;  a bystander is his/her unity with the Christ that is the
Church. To us, the mark that will distinguish the Virgo of
Rentals, or, if you prefer, the Virgo of the Crusades, is her
crown and bathrobes and throne. According to M. the de of Rohault Fleury
"The of de of Iconographie Sainte Vierge" (11, 62), the headgear of the Virgo
and ornaments had been for centuries long takings in loan from the custom of
the Empresses of the east in honour of the Regina of Sky. Without doubt
the Virgo of Rentals was the Virgo recognized by the empress
Helena, mother of Constantine and it was at least old as Helena
pilgrimage in Jerusalem in 326. You were not a Western queen, feudal,
neither it was his/her Child a feudal king;  she typified an authority that the
people wanted, and the feuds feared;  the Pax Romana;  the omnipotence
of under control God. To that duration, it was anybody in Europe,
able power to strengthen the justice or to maintain order and any symbol of
such power except Christ and Your Mother and the Imperial Crown.

This idea is very different from that of which it was our object
pilgrimage to Mont-Saint-Michel;  but since all the Rentals have to be one
from a lot of face you comment on him, you can place the history of the matter on the
shelf for study to Your ease, if you ever desire to study in the
tired details of human illusions and disappointments, while here us
you pray to the Virgo, and is absorbed in the art that is Your
pleasure and what they won't teach or an ethic or a profit
lesson. The empress Mary is receiving her/it to his/her portal, and if
You are an impertinent child or an old foolish farmer-woman or a
insolent prince or a more insolent tourist, she receives her with
the same dignity;  in fact, she probably sees the very small difference
