“Is is seldom possible to say of the medievals that they *always* did one thing and *never* another; they were marvelously inconsistent. ”
― Thomas Cahill, Mysteries of the Middle Ages: The Rise of Feminism, Science & Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe
― Thomas Cahill, Mysteries of the Middle Ages: The Rise of Feminism, Science & Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe
“The phrase "the violent bear it away" fascinated the 20th century Irish-American storyteller Flannery O'Connor, who used it as the title of one of her novels. O'Connor's surname connects her to an Irish royal family descended from Conchobor (pronounced "Connor"), the prehistoric king of Ulster who was foster father to Cuchulainn and "husband" of the unwilling Derdriu. In the western world, the antiquity of Irish lineages is exceeded only by that of the Jews.”
