Haikus and Photos: Monticello's Double Vision

Some twenty years ago, the author visited Monticello in which the sky or the universe smiled on that day. Monticello opens a sense of wonder to those who visit  and embraces the paradox of the nation's founding, how  enlightenment and slavery existed side by side. Finally, after an extensive read of American history, the author pens these haikus and offers this glimpse of Monticello's double vision.
