Franciscan Cell/ Reading Room

 The Reading Room (by Paul Williams)

Within this solitude 
knowledge may flow 
into my open heart.

Franciscan Cell, Italy

This is my oil painting of Friar Albert Da Sartean’s private cell in convent San Francesco, Fiesole, Italy. While viewing the cell through the grate of a locked door, I was awed by the golden light streaming into the room.  

My poem expresses feelings of one entering such a sanctuary.
