[About the Mosaics.] ... I made plans to cover all the walls from roof to floor with mosaics - but the rich man who promised to give the necessary money for them died suddenly and his heirs seized all his money, so the whole arrangement fell through and nothing has been done for five or six years - but last year I gave a big design to go over an arch - a huge thing - and now someone has decided to pay for another arch to be covered, and there I shall make the design I had set my heart on - of a great flowering tree growing all over the space; myriads of leaves to it, every leaf as big as a man's hand, and the tree a very pale Christ, and on one side of it Adam, and on the other Eve, and two toddlers, and these shall stand for mankind - and Christ shall have outstretched arms on the tree as if he were on the Cross, but there will be no Cross. He will be hovering in the Tree of Life. I do hope to make it beautiful. ...
