Poem Reflects on Chapel Art and Silent Women Figures

The poem 'What They Keep for Themselves' by Susanna Lang describes a scene at the Chapel of the Magi at noon. It portrays Mary's ghost holding a baby's ghost with tenderness, while other stone women figures stand in the cloister with worn faces. The work focuses on the private thoughts and unspoken words of these silent figures, particularly one sister clutching a book and drawing her robe close. The poem was published on Curator Magazine's website.
