On the other hand we may say that the highest artistic expression of Catholicism, or at least of Spanish Catholicism, is in the art that is most material, tangible, and permanent-for the vehicle of sounds is air-in sculpture and painting, in the Christ of Velasquez, that Christ who is for ever dying, yet never finishes dying, in order that he may give us life.
Eta, esan dezakegu, aldiz, adierazpen artistiko katoliko gorena, espainiarra bederen, arte materialago, ukigarriago eta iraunkorragoan mamitzen dela-hotsak aireak baitaramatza-eskulturan eta pinturan alegia, Velázquez-en Kristoa delakoan, beti ere hiltzen ari den Kristo horrengan, baina inoiz erabat hil gabe, guri bizitza ematearren!
