"It seems to me that I have become a statue on the banks of the river of time, that I am the spectator of some mystery…"

Gustave Caillebotte




Achille Laugé

But I forced to mind my vision of a sky   

close and enclosed, unlike the space in which these clouds move—

a sky of gray mist it appeared—

and how looking intently at it we saw

its gray was not gray but a milky white

in which radiant traces of opal greens,

fiery blues, gleamed, faded, gleamed again,

and how only then, seeing the color in the gray,   

a field sprang into sight, extending

between where we stood and the horizon
