Holy Analogical Applecart

To thee [Art] he clung fast, and even when the portal was closed where through thou hadst entered in and spoken to him, when his deaf ear had blinded his vision for thy features, still did he ever carry thine image within his heart, and when he died it still reposed on his breast.
