William Dalrymple Quotes

Across The Broken Apses And Shattered Naves Of A Hundred Ruined Byzantine Churches, The Same Smooth, Cold, Neo-classical Faces Of The Saints And Apostles Stare Down Like A Gallery Of Deaf Mutes; And Through This Thundering Silence The Everyday Reality Of Life In The Byzantine Provinces Remains Persistently Difficult To Visualise. The Sacred And Aristocratic Nature Of Byzantine Art Means That We Have Very Little Idea Of What The Early Byzantine Peasant Or Shopkeeper Looked Like; We Have Even Less Idea Of What He Thought, What He Longed For, What He Loved Or What He Hated.
Yet Through The Pages Of The Spiritual Meadow One Can Come Closer To The Ordinary Byzantine Than Is Possible Through Virtually Any Other Single Source.
