“Forest of
Fontainebleau”
Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de la Peña,
1867
Viewed
at California Palace of the
Legion
of Honor, San Francisco
This
skein of sunlight
unraveling
the curves
of
the dark earth
between
the light trunks
draws
my eye
within,
through
the canvas, until
what
I started to say to you
I
do not know, only know
it
now seems
quite
uncertain,
not
quite true.
