The Day after Christmas



Yearning for Peace



Bearing the Olive Branch




Offering the Olive branch with pure thought




The secret is knowledge


Aeneid
Virgil (70-10BC)

High on the stern Aeneas his stand,
And held a branch of olive in his hand,
While thus he spoke: "The Phrygians' arms you see,
Expelled from Troy, provoked in Italy
By Latian foes, with war unjustly made;
At first affianced, and at last betrayed.
This message bear: The Trojans and their chief
Bring holy peace, and beg the King's relief."

  1. Yes, the secret is knowledge. I also believe that one learns from beauty in nature. They go hand in hand.

    Happy Second Christmas Day, Gina!
