In the artist's own words: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (First Epistle of St. Up Paul to the Corinthians) The eternal, from the human creation, biblical theme of the universal relationship of father and son."
