Text from the animation reads as follows:
Enter into a world of Beauty, Truth, Freedom and Love
In 1874, Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron wrote:
I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me...
...my whole soul has endeavoured to do its duty...
...in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner...
...as well as the features of the outer...
The photograph thus taken...
...has been almost the embodiment of a prayer.
[...] A crowd of hopes
That sought to sow themselves like winged lies
Born out of everything I heard and saw
Fluttered about my senses and my soul.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
