The age of Kings is over, but hopefully not the age of the Sun. It's another gloomy day here in the heartland. I came across this from Louis XIV, the Sun King, and I wanted to bring a little sunshine into my blog today. You have to admire the chutzpah of a King taking on the glory of the sun, but well, it was a reflected glory.
"Because of the light it shines on the other stars which make up a kind of court around it, because of the just and equal distribution of its rays to all alike, because of the good it brings to all places, producing life, joy and action, because of its constancy from which it never varies, I chose the sun as the most magnificent image to represent a great leader." - The Sun King.
