A man that looks on glass
On it may stay his eye; Or, if he pleaseth through it pass
And then the heaven espy.
(GEORGE HERBERT)

Ever since, he has ' read ' the glass and sculpture for thousands of English-speaking visitors. His scholarly and, at times, eccentric commentary has inspired many. Producer
