Lux Perpetua
(Inscription on a brass plaque beside the window.
The quotation is from the Requiem Mass:
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
(And let perpetual light shine upon them)
Tracery quatrefoil, showing the
Blessed Virgin Mary surrounded by five child angels.
There are no dead.
(from L’oiseau bleu
(The Bluebird) by Maurice Maeterlinck)
The main scene in the two lights,
showing two characters from Maeterlinck’s play: the little boy Tyltyl and his sister Mytyl.
The little boy holds the blue bird of happiness, while more blue birds circle around
his head.
Brass plaque beside the window.
Drawing of the window, included in the Faculty Petition.
