Here are some more icon texts:

From Virgil's Aeneid Book 1:
Icon's Original Latin
[boat art covers over missing text]
Est in secessu long[o]
locus: insula portum
efficit obiectu lateru[m,]
quibus omnis ab
alto frangitur inque sinus
scindit sese unda reductos.
Hinc atque hinc vastae
rupes geminique minantur
in caelum scopuli,[ quorum]
sub vertice late a[equora]
tuta silent; tum [silvis]
scaena coruscis [desuper]
horrentique atrum [nemus]
imminet umbra.
English translation:
There is a place in a long
inlet: an island forms a
port by the projection of its sides
by which every wave
from the deep is broken
and it splits itself into a bay set back.
On this side and that vast cliffs and twin rocks tower
into the sky under the top of which the safe seas
are broadly silent; then there is a back drop with shuttering forests
from above, and a dark grove overhangs with shuttering shadow;

I believe it's possible this has something to do with the Khmer folk
story of "Angkat" known as the Cambodian Cinderella. The photo of the
boy on the icon appears to possibly be Cambodian, and the white
stonework in the background appears to be Cambodian?
