Dance Information

The expression "To Honour A King" comes from C.S. Lewis, Present Concerns...

"Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters.
For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison."

"Present Concerns" is a collection of essays by C.S. Lewis. It was first published in 1986, after Lewis's death, and it brings together a selection of his essays on various topics. The essays in this collection were written during the 1940s and 1950s and cover a wide range of subjects, reflecting Lewis's interests in literature, theology, ethics, and cultural commentary.
