I'm especially grateful today to gaze at this lovely painting by Laurence Alma Tadema, which we saw in the flesh—or the oils—just last week at the Legion of Honor. I love the lazy garlanded beast with his sleek back turned.
I'm more grateful than I can say to be able to see it, to continue seeing as I do, having had a scare this morning about a torn retina. Sight is precious, and I shall glory in it absolutely all I can.
