I think of her when I see Vermeer’s women
in the daylight of their rooms, pearls gleaming
on their ears and held in their hands.
After a lifetime of painting, his brush
made their faces more luminous,
the layers of years building into
such light. Like the pearl of great price—
you sell everything to get it, the Gospel says,
then hold it loose in your hand.
Not the clutching loves of nation, child
or even God, but a beauty that gives itself away.
You walk the museum galleries gazing
at the treasures, then turn another corner
and there it is, the face you didn’t know
you were looking for, open as light,
its fires and its tides.
Jean Janzen, from Finding the pearl

(also that affogato was delicious)

Da: SGUARDI SULL’ARTE LIBRO SECONDO - di Gianpiero Menniti
LO SPECCHIO DELL’ANIMA
Lo sguardo può emanare limpidezza.
Ma questa è tanto più vera quando si vela di malinconia, consapevole del significato di genere umano e di vita.
È la limpidezza della speranza.
- Jan Vermeer (1632 - 1675): “Ragazza con l'orecchino di perla”, 1665 - 1666, Mauritshuis, l'Aia
- In copertina: Maria Casalanguida, "Bottiglie e cubetto", 1975, collezione privata
