I’ve been for the letter Q in historical art and found more than I bargained for. Were artists the original code talkers, I think so!

 

So many more mysteries that autists see in everyday life, we are a band of brothers through time and space, and that makes me proud!

History holds the keys to cipher

 

1814

August 23

Dolley Madison saves portrait from British

On this day in 1814, first lady Dolley Madison saves a portrait of George Washington from being looted by British troops during the war of 1812.

 

According to the White House Historical Society and Dolley’s personal letters, President James Madison left the White House on August 22 to meet with his generals on the battlefield, as British troops threatened to enter the capitol. Before leaving, he asked his wife Dolley if she had the “courage or firmness” to wait for his intended return the next day. He asked her to gather important state papers and be prepared to abandon the White House at any moment. The next day, Dolley and a few servants scanned the horizon with spyglasses waiting for either Madison or the British army to show up. As British troops gathered in the distance, Dolley decided to abandon the couple’s personal belongings and save the full-length portrait of former president and national icon George Washington from desecration by vengeful British soldiers, many of whom would have rejoiced in humiliating England’s former colonists.

 

Dolley wrote to her sister on the night of August 23 that a friend who came to help her escape was exasperated at her insistence on saving the portrait. Since the painting was screwed to the wall she ordered the frame to be broken and the canvas pulled out and rolled up. Two unidentified “gentlemen from New York” hustled it away for safe-keeping. (Unbeknownst to Dolley, the portrait was actually a copy of Gilbert Stuart’s original). The task complete, Dolley wrote “and now, dear sister, I must leave this house, or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take.” Dolley left the White House and found her husband at their predetermined meeting place in the middle of a thunderstorm.

 

The next night, August 24, British troops enjoyed feasting on White House food using the president’s silverware and china before burning the building. Although they were able to return to Washington only three days later when British troops moved on, the Madisons were not again able to take up residence in the White House and lived out the rest of his term in the city’s Octagon House. It was not until 1817 that newly elected President James Monroe moved back into the reconstructed building.

All of meanderings came from the fact that I have picture of Sir Galahad in my stairwell, for some reason I stopped for the first time in many years and gazed upon the picture to decipher the meaningfulness Of why I have it my house

 

-Galahad comes to King Mordrayns (or Evelake), who has waited for him for four-hundred years. Mordrayns embraces him and dies. Galahad rides on and comes to the lake of fire, a symbol of lechery (traditionally an emblem of hell itself). He puts his hand in the water and it cools. Then in the country of Gore, Galahad visits a burning tomb. The fire ceases and the body that has lain burning in the tomb for three hundred and fifty-four years, in punishment for a sin against Joseph of Aramathy, is reburied at Galahad's command.

-At last he finds Percival and Bors, and they all ride to Corbenic, the Castle of the Maimed King, Pellam. There they see marvels and Galahad heals Pellam. Now Galahad, Bors, and Percival are guided to their ship, where they find the Grail. Galahad prays and is granted the right to choose his time of death. At last they arrive at Sarras, where Percival's dead sister awaits them, as predicted. Galahad heals a cripple.

-Immediately afterward, the three knights are thrown into prison by a Saracen; but prison is no discomfort, the Grail comes to them and spreads feasts. After a time the Saracen king falls sick, calls them out of prison to ask their forgiveness, and dies. The city, guided by a voice out of heaven, makes Galahad king. At the year's end, Galahad sees a vision of Christ among his angels and asks to be raised to Him. He dies and his two friends see his soul borne to heaven. Percival becomes a religious hermit; Bors eventually returns to Arthur's sadly diminished court.

-In the Grail section, the underlying-weakness and futility of Arthur's court, which up to now Malory has only suggested by ironic juxtapositions, is laid out openly: Merlin's Round Table is a figure for the world, in medieval Christian doctrine the source of three dangerous temptations — "lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life" (see 1 John 2:16), that is, sinful concupiscence, covetousness, and overweening pride. Whatever the original function of the lady in Arthur's world, she has become in the end not the genteel embodiment of social judgment, but the object of sexual lust; whatever the original function of knightly accouterments, titles, and lands, they have degenerated into things sinfully coveted; and chivalric heroism has in the same way degenerated into sinful pride.

legalized murder, forgetting the law "Thou shalt not kill;" a world in which fathers war with sons (one of the leitimotivs in Isaiah). Or to put all this another way, it is the eye-for-an-eye world of the Old Law, which must be overthrown by the New Law of charity.

-The lucidity and conviction of Malory's Grail section are no doubt in large measure reflections of the personal religious feeling of the writer; but they are also effects of brilliant technique. Nearly everything Malory has done before, nearly every symbol and convention he has established earlier, he repeats here in a new context — the context of spiritual quest. For instance the convention of the borrowed shield, established in "Launcelot du Lake" and developed in every conceivable way in later tales, gets its final twist in the Galahad story: Galahad jousts with no shield at all, protected by grace (like Launcelot among the lions, later in the Grail section), then gets his red cross shield from an agent of God.

-The convention of the guiding damsel, with its overtones of love between the guided and the guide, reappears here in idealized form: Percival and his friends are guided by Percival's sister, whose saintly love has nothing to do with eros.

-Experiences of Arthur's worldly court which helped to define his worldly code have echoes here and define a higher code. As Gawain mercilessly struck off the head of a lady who threw herself over her knight, Lionel strikes off the head of a holy man who throws himself over a knight to prevent a murder.

-The fundamental idea behind the Grail section is spelled out in the passage entitled "The Miracles." For all their loyalty to King Arthur, Launcelot and all worldly knights are guilty, finally, of "treason": the true king is Christ, and the true knightly code is not Arthur's, but God's — chastity (at best, virginity), charity and abstinence (as opposed to covetousness), and humility (as opposed to knightly pride).
