"Eventually, I realized what made Aivazovsky’s art unique - his knack for catching that light. Not just physical light but also the metaphysical light behind it. The light out of which the fabric of the world is spun. "
Beautiful
I really like the cut of this poem’s jib. Marvelous word choices. I want to nap and dream in it.
Love this, Alan.

Great imagery
