Hark the herald angels sing - on Georgiana Goddard King

[PILGRIMSPLAZA]

For soul mates who can’t get enough of Georgiana Goddard King and her thrilling masterpiece The Way of Saint James:

Hark the herald angels sing

Hark the herald angels sing,
Here’s to Georgiana Goddard King.
Who is this who knows each thing
Yet she wears no wedding ring?
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Has she ever had a child?

[this circulated at Bryn Mawr College -where she was a living legend- in her teaching days]

King stated publicly that Pre-Romanesque Churches was her best book but privately she confessed that Heart of Spain – a series of poignant essays on Spanish towns and monuments – was the work about which she felt most deeply.

Welcome back Geert - where have you been?

Thank you for your nice and warm welcome (again; like in early 2008), Sil!
Two years ago I felt I should "disengage" for a while.
Now I'm glad to be back and I'm surprised in a very pleasant way how the Forum has developed! Compliments for Ivar and his staff!

King has so much more to tell us...
Pity she didn’t find les Forêts Priscilien near Montségur and Briciljan (which is also Priscillian?) near the legendary castle of Muntsalvaesche on her own Way of Saint James through France… (see miscellaneous-topics/topic11158.html#p74524 )

Brassa!
