Resplendent Book

Susan Elliott
Kells; medieval book, surviving today
housed at Trinity College, Dublin
under lock and key.

Containing a kernel of God's word
amongst fantastic imagery and
scrolling font.

Masterpiece of art, religion
how I long to examine,
to touch you.

    Yeah, I'd love to see it, too. The painstaking nature of putting those ancient books together was staggering.
