Sylvester Baxter > Quotes

“The red robe means the protecting garment that the pure soul must wear for its life in the world. It identifies its wearer, through kinship of the same red blood, with the interests and the welfare of his fellows, in whose cause he is fighting. It is the outer personality which must bear the stress of the conflict and receive the bruises and stains that come from contact with the world. But beneath all the soul must remain unsullied.”
― Sylvester Baxter, The Legend of the Holy Grail, as set forth in the frieze painted by Edwin A. Abbey
