The Funeral Monument Of Countess Matilda Di Canossa, Pope Gregory VII's Great Champion Against The Emperor

The funeral monument of Countess Matilda di Canossa, Pope Gregory VII's great champion against the Emperor Henry VI. The monument was conceived by Bernini who began it in 1633. The statue of Matilda is by Andrea Bolgi (1605-1656). The central bas-relief which shows Henry IV kneeling before Gregory VII on January 28th, 1077 after waiting or three days and three nights to be received, is the work of Stefano Speranza. The two cherubs supporting the inscription are by Andrea Bolgi (on the right) and Luigi Bernini, the brother of Gian Lorenzo (on the left).

Butterfly Boucher - A Walk Outside (Flutterby: 2003) Which came first The love or the love song? Which is more important In the long run? Do you really want to talk about it? Take it to the back veranda Have a drink and talk around it In the end it doesn't matter In the end we all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Which came first The love or the love song? I'm sorry I guess I was wrong Let us find the tune without a sound Find a place no one's found Pick it up and put it down In the end it doesn't matter In the end they all go home I thought about it for a minute Music's in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Clever lines and clever lyrics All boil down to what goes in them If they find life then so do we Yeah, uh-huh, I think we're alive Music is a walk outside Think about it for a minute In the end we all go home Music's in the things that matter Hear it in the kiss we hold Music is a walk outside Which came first The love or the love song?
