From all the pictures ever painted I have selected this for my constant companion. To me it embodies the whole history of the human spirit, past, present, and future, in one supreme vision. Long-tried, royal Odysseus is man in his struggle with nature, man in his warfare with ignorance, the Son of Man in His fight with sin and death, my own best self in its lifelong battle with everything adverse. By the help of his god Ulysses won. Why may not I with the help of mine . ?
[20] IV THE CREATION O...F MAN By MICHELANGELO BY that trick of the mind called by the rhetoricians " synecdoche, " the Creation of Man, seen anywhere, in even the poorest print, means to me the whole Sistine Chapel. One glance at the familiar lines and my spirit has leaped the sea. I have escaped from the rattling carriage in the sun-drowned Piazza San Pietro, have passed in safety the watchmen of the flaming garb, and am standing with uncovered head beneath the great dim ceiling. The titanic fresco is of irresistible power.
