The Art-of-Facts


What would science or math tell me of morning or of the spinning winds of destruction or the vile whiteness hoards or of sunset at the end of day?  What formula would solve Houston or Irma or Charleston?  We look out upon the world, its greenness and its meanness and find no answers in the ivory towers of progressive facts.  We just stand and look at the ivy-covered walls of knowledge as the ivy continually creeps silently.  We need great buttress of art to uphold these fortresses for the facts of life or not facts at all but the mysterious rising incense in our cathedral souls and the candle lit grottos of our hearts.  If God be real then our art must be His evidence.
