Peter's House of Lyrical Waxing

Tear down the wall that isolates you and with the bricks build a bridge to reach your friend.
-- Joaquin A. Penaloza

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong - that is your oath.
-- Balian, Kingdom of Heaven

What is a poet? He is a man of religious experience whose creative gift enables him to communicate spiritual truths to men. His poetry can bring deliverance from spiritual death, bringing his hearers to a new knowledge of their divine Creator, who gave him this special power. In this way souls that have been disordered can be healed, and the human relation with God may be restored when it has been impaired...This is the fruit and indeed the purpose of music and poetry, direct gifts from God to mankind."
-- Elizabeth Henry, Orpheus and His Lute
