The kaleidoscope of divine glory
During lockdown I was sent the following meme: ‘The Science graduate asks: “Why does it work?” The Engineering graduate asks: “How does it work?” The Economist asks: “How much will it cost?” The Arts graduate asks: “Do you want fries with that?”’
As an Arts graduate and English teacher, I was, like Queen Victoria, not amused. The Arts, like many other sectors, have suffered hugely during the pandemic and for a long time were ignored for financial support. Yet how much harder would lockdown have been without books, music, films and TV?
