Cross-slab in Clonmacnoise

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Mnemo tongue-twisted, eager to bless. You are small, she told the chamber, but small is not nothing. The chamber is large because it is made of small rooms. Rooms need walls. Walls need edges. Edge is not a ban, it is a gift. It shows where the chamber ends and the world begins. I want to know the shape of the chamber, she said. Then stop pretending the chamber has no wall.
