Either there is civil strife in heaven,
Or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
Incenses them to send destruction …
For I believe, they are portentous things,
Unto the climate that they point upon.

St Augustine:
‘The angels are included amongst the works of God and they are the Light, which received the word ‘Day’.
St Thomas Aquinas:
The order of things created by God demonstrates the unity of the universe, the universe itself being ‘the one’, united by and order following that by which everything is ordered.

mastio: posigli nome
Michelangnolo, et nacque in
lunedì matina , innanzi dì 4 o 5

I record that today, the 6th of
March 1474, a son was born to
me. I named him Micheagnolo
and he was born on the Monday
morning, some time between 4
and 5 hours before it …
(note that this date of 6 March
1474 is given in ‘the florentine
style’, or from the incarnation,
which in ‘the Roman style,
calculated from the nativity,
would be 1475.)
