Scrolls of ancient sagas
Pictures of strange faces
Folios of collected letters
Sealed in the misty wonders
of the antemundane treasures
awoke her delight in the senses
in phantasmagorical displays
of the cabinet of curiosities.
Author’s Note: Looking at our family album suddenly brought me back to the time when my father opened an old cabinet in his library where the interesting artifacts from our ancestors were kept and explained to me what they were; At the tender age of childhood, it was a sight to behold in awes and wows engraved in my memory shrine. For it was truly a Cabinet of Curiosities.
