The White Stone Efatas 1. On the mountain of the gods God created the angels, on the mountain of Eden, where he first created the behemoth, who would fall away from the Lord later. 2. Like this he also created the morningstars among who there was also lucifer, the son of the dawn. 3. He also created the sons of God, the archangels, like Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and also Jupitaster who would later fall away from the Lord and would be called satan. 4. God created also the cherubs like Linjaser and Belial who would later fall away from the Lord. 5. Further God created the seraphs like Latou and also the Leviathan who would fall away from the Lord later. And the Lord clothed them with precious gems on the mountain of the gods, and the Lord gave them houses in the sea. 6. And the Lord saw that it was good, and blessed that part of the heavens and the angels’ paradise. 7. And the Lord planted trees on the mountain of the gods, and the angels were allowed to eat of all of those, but there was one tree of which the Lord had forbidden them to eat. 8. And that tree was called the tree of sin. But Jupitaster once walked along the tree of sin, and knew what the Lord had said about the tree. 9. Now there was a serpent called the Virtus, and the serpent turned itself to Jupitaster. ‘God doesn’t want you to eat from this tree,’ the serpent said, ‘because then you would become like Him.’ 10. -

The maps and names on it are based on the explorations of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European known to have sailed into New York harbor. That was in 1524, only 18 years before Ulpius made this globe The globe is important to us because it’s the first to show where New York City could be found. Of course, the name New York is not on the globe. But if you look closely you can find where it would be. The names on the globe are in Latin and Italian, but you should be able to find the peninsula of Florida. -

Pond Carousel
Pond The southeast corner of Central Park was from its inception, and continues to be today, the most heavily used Park entrance. Fully half of all Park visitors enter by way of Grand Army Plaza. In the 19th century it was the first destination of a carriage ride north from the growing city to the Park. Olmsted and Vaux, who designed Central Park in 1858, intended the Pond landscape to welcome visitors and offer an instant haven from the city, which it continues to do to this day. The placid shores of The Pond offer visitors to Central Park an instant haven from the City. The comma-shaped Pond is situated below street level, which has the effect of muting the urban cacophony and creating a surprising calm. The gracefully-shaped Gapstow Bridge arches over the northeast end of the Pond, framing the picturesque scene. This is the second bridge of the same name on this site. The original, whose design is attributed to Jacob Wrey Mould, was built in 1874. One of the most unusual bridges in the Park, it was made of stone abutments, with cast-iron filigree and two semi-circular wooden arches. The wooden arches and flooring deteriorated, and the bridge was replaced in 1896 by the present simple stone structure made from unadorned Manhattan schist (the local bedrock). The nearby Cop Cot (Scottish for little house on the crest of the hill) — the Park's largest rustic wood structure — is perched on a large rock outcrop at the Sixth Avenue entrance, providing a splendid view of the Pond below. -

Abram Belskie, Sculptor, and the Famous American Sculptors with Whom He Worked
Abram Belskie, Sculptor, and the Famous American Sculptors with Whom He Worked Robert J. Demarest Abram Belskie, a talented young Scottish immigrant landed in New York just as the Great Depression was getting underway. Fortunately, he found work with John Gregory, sculpting the panels for the new Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. His sculpting talent soon led him to Closter, NJ where he met and worked with many of the fine American sculptors of the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s. It was through one of these fine artists that he was introduced to Robert L. Dickinson with whom he produced his exceptional opus, the Birth of a Baby, in a series of life size sculptures (Figure 1). Figure 1. Abram Belskie and Dr. Robert Latou Dickinson with their birth demonstration model. Photo: circa mid 1940’s. Belskie Archives. I met Abram Belskie only once, in 1967, when I served on a committee to approve his design of the 200th Anniversary medallion for the College of Physicians & Surgeons. The medallion features a flying muse holding the torch of knowledge entwined with Aesculapius’ serpent (Figure 2). On the reverse is a bas-relief of the entrance to the medical school, still unchanged from when I first entered that portal over 50 years ago. Abram was a tall, gangly man. When I met him his soft voice was still tinged with a Scottish accent, despite his having lived in the U.S. for nearly forty years. He was born on March 24, 1907 in London, England, of Jewish parents who had emigrated from Russia. -
