Lawerence Memorial Window (artist: Louis Comfort Tiffany, installed 1910)
This window depicts three saints: Sebastian, Joseph (holding the infant Jesus), and Francis. It commemorates three members of the Lawrence family: father Joseph and his two sons, Francis and Sabastian.
Located on the south transept, this window catches the late morning and afternoon sun. It is absolutely stunning in its color and luminosity. It reminds one of the John Keats poem "
The Eve of St Agnes":
"A casement high and triple-arch’d there was,
All garlanded with carven imag’ries
Of fruits, and flowers, and bunches of knot-grass,
And diamonded with panes of quaint device,
Innumerable of stains and splendid dyes,
As are the tiger-moth’s deep-damask’d wings;
And in the midst, ’mong thousand heraldries,
And twilight saints, and dim emblazonings,
A shielded scutcheon blush’d with blood of queens and kings...."
