appears almost as if haunted by the idea of an allegory, that the mystery can be taken up with different theories; the figure of Zephyr has held a single blue note against the pallor of the skin, but it is not comforting to find Primavera withheld.

Blue cornflowers moving in slowest rhythm.

Here dreams of Venus on a gilded scallop, here promise and spiritual joy.

Each dark leaf has a gold spine.

Two masterpieces with minutely observed grief are utterly different. Each day a great struggle to conflate lighting at the far edges.

The rest is painted on a flat border. The rest is allegory; a small almond tree tells us life has just begun.
