Philip I like very much, "I call yours pictures, more than photographs." indeed, what I see is pictures, many thousands of them, some are raw and unsightly but so many more fall under "To quote the Cantos again... 'out of all this beauty something must come'." and I, who feel so deeply about sharing my good fortune to be beholden of such beauty will die, I hope, having painted it all through eyes that have loved every second.

I have just found the poem you speak of, another I have neither heard of or read; you are a veritable anthology and I wish I lived close by you for I would surely be at your door relentlessly devouring more... Timothy Winters, even down to his hair, is he, my poor boy and I pray for the angels, when I say Amen. Good Lord, I pray for ten!

'Beauty is difficult' had been the refrain previously a measure recurrent during the imprisonment, until the last:

'Under white clouds, cielo di Pisa

out of all this beauty something must come'

Yes, ten from me and ten from you! 👍
