The Love God?
:00:30 The love god?
:00:47 And let's not forget
the inspiring words of the poet:
:00:50 "Oh, beautiful
for spacious skies,
:00:53 "For amber waves of grain,
:00:55 "For purple mountain majesty,
:00:58 Above the fruited plain. "
:01:00 But I say, all the beauty
of our glorious country...
:01:04 is meaningless if its artistic
soul is to be stifled...
:01:08 by narrow-minded
and antiquated laws.
:01:11 Is it any wonder this country
has never produced...
:01:14 a Michelangelo, a Rembrandt,
a Picasso...
:01:16 when men like Osborn Tremain
are persecuted...
:01:19 for trying to bring beauty and
art to a culture-hungry public.
:01:23 Is it any wonder that the rest
of the artistic world...
:01:26 considers our country
a cultural desert,
:01:29 when true lovers of art,
like Osborn Tremain,
:01:32 are crucified on the
cross of ignorance?
:01:36 Is Osborn Tremain
to be martyred...
:01:38 for being a worshiper
at the shrine of beauty...
:01:42 and, through his
artistic publications,
:01:44 sharing this love
with a culture-starved public?
:01:48 How long is God-given beauty
to be strangled...
:01:52 by man-made laws?
:01:55 The spirits of the great poets of
antiquity stand next to Osborn Tremain,
:01:59 crying in his defense: "A thing
of beauty is a joy forever."
