Seeing Ireland Through Windows and Mirrors

Last night I dreamed that Ireland had these specially made windows and mirrors.  The thick windows would allow you to see not just the whole panorama but maybe one part of it in great detail and vivid color, and the mirrors worked with the windows to let you see views from even farther and farther off.

There was a place on the southeast coast*, a building made of brick with thick walls looking something like an abbey.  English people who had lived in Ireland had all been expelled, but they could step from the boat into this seaside building and look through one of its many cloistered windows so see the land they had loved.  There were massive tall thin mirrors set into thick round brick bases, like windmills, all over Ireland bringing the views of Ireland to this place.
