see below Explanation: There are various good English translations from Aquinas. One would have to know exactly from where it is, then I could help you looking it up in one of my English Aquinas' books. |

response to rmems Explanation: Thank you for your offer, but there's no indication in the text where this quote comes from. I did a Web search and couldn't find the quote. In any case, it might just be a paraphrase since there are no quotes around it, so I'll just do my best in interpreting it. Karen |

Art is promise of happiness and beauty the splendour of truth Explanation: This was easy, I thought. I have read Aquinas years ago and have also enjoyed reading the version dished by the James Joyce character Stephen Dedalus. Do get back with more queries. |
