This appoximate 10" wide x 5" deep
x 10.5" tall cabinet borrows from a black and white1914
image from Kay Nielsen in the front of the closed box. The back
of the box includes another wintery image whose original artist
is unknown, along with the quote, "In the midst of Winter,
I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."
Peacock feathers grace the top, the inside floor and right inside
door of the box.
There is also an image of Lord Byron on the left inside door,
who is quoted on the back inside wall of the box as follows:
"...And for the future, this world's future may from me
demand but little of my care; I have outlived myself by many
a day; Having survived so many things that were; My years have
been no slumber, but the Prey of ceaseless vigils; for I had
the share Of life which might have filled a century, Before
its fourth in time had passed me by. And for the remnant which
may be To come, I am content; and for the past I feel Not Thankless,
for within the crowded sum of Struggles, happiness at times
would steal. And For the present, I would not benumb my Feelings
farther. Nor shall I conceal that with All this I still can
look around, and worship Nature with a thought profound." |
