Gothic Windows: Oceanic Shilling
Collection: SIDES: Plates of Curiosity
A frame of stone, a lens of glass, Where ancient light and shadows pass. Through pointed arches, sharp and high, We catch a fragment of the sky. Experiments in flame and lead, Where curiosity is fed; Each peculiar glaze a storied sight, Held within a window’s light. A sunken coin in a tidal pool, Where the salt is sharp and the air is cool. Spotted gold in a wash of blue, A treasure that the ocean knew.
