2 Patience Strong hand embroideries. She must have churned out thousands of these little poems during her career!

Inspired by the poem To the Chief Musician upon Nabla: A Tyndallic Ode

Whose wounds are cured by squeezing,

With fernlike hoar-frost bristle,
There, liquid stars their watery rays
Shoot through the solid crystal....

James Clerk Maxwell 1870
