A Coign of Vantage
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.
