About this book
Windows, a book about stained and painted glass, is by Lewis F. Day. The dedication is addressed to those who know nothing of stained glass, to those who know something and want to know more, and to those who know all about it and yet care to know what another may have to say upon the subject. The preface says a stained glass window is itself the best possible illustration of the difference it makes whether we look at a thing from this side or from that.
The preface says Gœthe used this particular image in one of his little parables, comparing poems to painted windows. The text says the lights form part of a Tree of Jesse, adapted, not very intelligently, to their present position, and marred by hideous restoration, such as the patch of excruciating blue in the robe of the Virgin. The abundant glass in the church of S. Patrice is called scarcely less interesting, and carries us well into the middle of the sixteenth century and beyond.
