“I have come now to kiss each magnanimous thumb,muscles of the brain, functions of the City.I was afraid the Council had turned you into gold,as was told of Midas who had ass’s ears.What can be saved without order? and how order?Compact is becoming contract; man only earns, and pays,the house outside the City burns but the house within is enslaved.What without coinage or with coinage can be saved?O lady, your hand held the breadand Christ the City spread in the extensor muscles of your thumbs.”—extract from Charles Williams: “Bors to Elayn: On the King’s Coins”, from “Taliessin Through Logres”
“This bull is no golden calf.”True. The “molten calf”, as it is referred to in Exodus, was not created to be worshiped as a god, but to lead the Israelites back to security in Egypt. This bronze bull is definitely an idol to be worshiped.
