THE MIND IS NOT A VESSEL TO BE FILLED,
BUT A FIRE TO BE IGNITED...

THERE IS THE MUSIC OF HEAVEN IN ALL THINGS...
WE HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO HEAR IT...UNTIL WE SING
<quotes from Plutarch and Hildegard Von Bingan  incorporated in the design
 



The symbolic imagery:

Gregory works at his desk, surrounded by books, music and instruments. A portrait of him leans against his seat.

Two school boys peer in and a Roman aqueduct is in the distance. A dove sits at his shoulder and amused angels look down from behind the banner:
Gregorius Maximus.

On the stone wall are symbols of knowledge, Great Britain, the West Indies, a trowel, the papacy, and the legend:
Servus Servorum Dei.
