Canaletto, The Grand Canal and the Church of the Salute [Venice], (1730)
Vermeer, View of Delft, (c. 1660)
Daylight savings time...the clock somersaults, the light streams at a different angle, the motes float lazily in new-remembered shadows...
Everyone out this afternoon enjoying the precursor of spring...I look at the sky, recalling the vernal blue we have otherwise misplaced for half a year...I look at the sky hovering so close above the towers and spires of the city...I am linked in this way back to other springs in other places, a soul wandering back along a track observed and painted by others before me...
