...example, pottery from the Saturday Evening Girls’ Club (quite striking in the simplicity and resulting “cleanness” of the images borne into the ceramic) is displayed quite close to the intricate inlaid-leather book cover (crafted from more than 1,000 pieces of leather) of Celia Thaxter’s An Island Garden. In addition, the Phillips Brooks Memorial Window, an enormous stained glass work honoring the Phillips Brooks House Association namesake, blocks part of the exit to this room.

When the Emperor Nero entered his Golden House for the first time, he inspected the statue of himself, 120 feet high; he admired the enclosed lake, the pillared arcade that stretched for a mile, the dining rooms paved with porphyry, and ceilings of gold and fretted ivory inlaid with jewels. Nero said: "At last, I am beginning to live like a human being...
