Inscription reads: "Deftly does the dust Express, In mind, her hidden loveliness- And, from her cool silence, stream The cricket's cry and Dante's dream; For the earth, that breeds the trees, Breeds cities too, and symphonies, Equally her beauty flows Into a savior, or a rose- Looks down in dream, and from above Smiles at herself, in Jesus' love: Christ's love and Homer's art Are but the workings of her heart; Through Leonardo's hand she seeks Herself, and through Beethoven speaks, In holy thunderings around, The awful message of the ground. " John Hall Wheelock February 1937.
