In my imagination:
** I see Mt-St-Michel and St. Aubert's Abbey in Normandy
I see Chartres Cathedral in France, sculptures etched in stone with curtains of lace-like stained glass: "The Legendary Windows."
* "I see angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity...."

St. Aubert's Abbey, 807 AD, appeared in a meditation and later gradually painted itself. St. Aubert received three visions from St. Michael the Archangel to build Mt-Saint-Michel, fortress on the top peaks of this island off the Normandy Coast.
