Thanks again for the feedback. I suppose the next change would be the title, plus that explanatory bit that's escaping even me -- if you, Mark and Matt, remain so convinced, then perhaps I just need to dig deeper. I like "Iconostasis" -- I've loved the word ever since I first heard it, it sounds so good -- and I hear some Iconostases are genuinely made of stone (plus bonuses to hard-heart, being a division between the sanctuary and the nave), so the title. And for the image: I guess it's warranted, both to explain the actual meaning of the colors, and to perhaps explain the poem itself, at least in its second, generally hidden sense, though I'm a bit torn between the image posted above, and the image that follows this post. The images are versions of the Icon of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, which wikipedia explained much better than I probably could: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_of_th..._Orthodoxy I considered the original icon, too, but its reds and azures simply aren't vivid enough, I think -- although posted as well is a better version of the image further below.
