| St. John's bookplate, Book of Kells |
Seeing the past, we see our future.
Books and illuminations by authors and monks long gone
Whisper through the aged pages and hallways
Here are our stories
This is what we know
Legacies of scholars
Life preserved in words and images
Of thoughts and ideas, dreams and visions
Beauty
Tanned bog bodies lie in glass enclosures
Frozen in time having been marked by violence and tossed in peat beds
Here is our flesh
See how we die
Legacies of cruelty
Death preserved, evidence of human dis-ease
Fear and torture, hate and madness
Horror
