When I Meditate on Thee in the Night Watches
My Soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: when I remember thee upon my bed and meditate on thee in the night watches.
—Psalm 63

Taylor modeled his harp on a fragment in the British Museum; the bas-relief on the wall in the background is taken from an Assyrian original.
