Nave Window 6

NAVE WINDOW 6, east

Man's struggle against negligence (those things which he should have done and did not do) and indifference (for who the bell tolls). Man walks away shrugging his shoulders from a welter of discarded obligations. The scales of justice lie broken and ignored in the foreground. A grotesque mask occupies the lower right hand corner, representing the irresponsible pleasures which harm others. At the lower left lies the maimed and diseased body of humanity, the result of misunderstanding and laissez faire. Also scattered among the rubble of civilization are a serpent, a skull, the rusting cog wheel of industrial waste, barbed wire of barricades, and the crumbling ruins of war. A cross, here ruined and neglected, is barely recognizable on the man's right, while he faces indifferently the enormous energy of atomic power, which may be turned into the bane or boon of human existence. Yet in spite of man's neglect and indifference, above and beyond all hovers the omnipotent Trinity.
