The Book Of Kells
By Kate Walker, 2nd Year
Trinity College Library
Behind the glass box,
Shows years of hard work,
Each page carefully designed,
No mistakes made.
Many calves died for the paper,
Handmade inks tested to perfection,
Hours in the Round Tower,
Quill touching vellum.
Sacred designs decorate,
The First Testament,
Colours and shades,
Enlighten the pages.
Stories are documented
By the Monks Day to day,
Night by night
To be read after years on end.
