Her Rays of Light.

"Nymph"        Nymph of the Grot these sacred springs I keep,
                       And to the murmur of these waters sleep,
                       Ah! Spare my slumbers,gently tread the cave,
                       And drink in silence, or in silence lave.
                                                                                       Cardinal Bembo(1512).
She has been asleep in the Grotto at Stourhead Gardens for over 250 years now. Surrounded by light above,  clear water and Italian rocks.
