Interesting association copy of this collection of photos from the Abbey of Gethsemani at Trappist, Kentucky, with text by Fr. Louis, or Thomas Merton. This copy from the library of May Sarton, and inscribed to her by a different Thomas:
"For my dearest May, This small token of affection to share with you a 'place of roots' in my life. I particularly share this with you since you are somewhat like a sister, having been in and out of Solitude yourself. My continuous best love, Thomas, Gethsemani, Kentucky."
