Just to put our appeal into proportion, did you notice that there is a picture of some waterlilies up for sale at £40,000,000? That means that our appeal for five million could buy one eighth of a waterlily. Not to mention an infinitisimal fraction of an Olympic game, or of any of the other big spending projects of our day. For a mere £5,000,000 you could buy a chapel and baptistery that will put us in the architectural guidebooks and on the tourist trail for hundreds of years to come,a library to secure books and papers for future generations, and rooms to train priests to baptize those generations... Or a waterlily. But they say she only loved him for his Monet....
