O Night, O Sweetest Time

“Blackfriars Bridge at Night (London)”  |  Anthony Satori

“O night, O sweetest time, though dark of hue, with peace you force all restless work to end.  Those who exalt you see and understand, and he is sound of mind who honors you.  You send to this low sphere the dreams where we ascend up to the highest.”

— Michelangelo

“Amber Droplet”  |  Anthony Satori

“God is shown to me no more fully than in some lovely mortal veil.  My eyes that ever long for lovely things, my soul that seeks salvation, cannot rise to heaven unless they fix their gaze on beauty, for they have no other wings.”

— Michelangelo
