Chagall, that often whimsical artist, leads me to other whimsy—
Sweet Moon, I thank thee for thy sunny beams!
(Nick Bottom, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, V,1,2114)
I remember, too, the lovely stained glass windows I've recently seen in the New American Wing at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Butterflies and Foliage, Peonies Blown in the Wind, The Infant Bacchus, The Fish, Morning Glories. All exquisite and full of light.
