| The End Of The Quest: Frank Dicksee. (1853-1928) |
Sir Frank Dicksee's painting, seen to your left, is entitled, "The End of the Quest",
but for us, and hopefully you, this is just the beginning of our quest.The original page, which is to be found on our
The Dawning of The Day website was inspired by the incredible song by Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick,
and we decided to copy the page to this, our Fairport site, in a slightly modified form. On the right hand side there,
we've grouped together a sampling of some of the routes that we'll be taking. Some might note a familiarity with this page, this
reason being is a version of it first appeared on our, as we have already stated , The Dawning of The Day website(it's
still there), and upon taking another look at it, found it to be a perfect illustration to what we are about here,
or at least we hope it is. Roads, routes, journeys, pilgrimages, those taken, those already underway, those about to be undertaken,
and those in the stages of contemplation, we're keeping all this in mind , and, again, we cannot over-emphasise that there
is more than one way to that point where The Sacred Presence, The Goddess, God, Allah, Jehovah, whatever name you choose to
use, is in the fore front of your thoughts. The Presence is always with us, no matter what we maybe about, at any point in
time, The Creation is all around us, stop and look once in awhile and marvel at the wonders, and think upon their creation,
for surely that way lies grace.

When the stone is grown too cold to kneel
In crystal
waters I'll be bound
Cold as stone weary to the sounds upon the wheel
Ch: Now be thankful for good things below
Now be thankful
to your maker
For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know
When the fire is grown too fierce to breathe
In burning irons
I'll be bound
Fierce as fire weary to the sound upon the wheel
Ch: Now be thankful for good things below
Now be thankful
to your maker
For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know
( recorded by Fairport Convention 1970)
