Sesame and Lilies Lecture I - Of Kings' Treasuries, Part 3
from The John Ruskin Library · host John Ruskin
In which the reader is invited to ponder the solemn office of true episcopal care as envisioned by Milton, distinguishing it sharply from the wrong ambitions of false clergy who seek power through creeping, intruding, or climbing. There unfolds a delicate examination of spiritual nourishment versus hollow puffing, where genuine oversight and feeding of the flock stand opposed to blind mouths and swollen winds, and the necessity of earnest, humble study to discern profound truths in noble writings is impressively urged.
