So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn't earned
the world's end.
-Wisława Szymborska, "Vermeer"
trans. Clare Cavanagh
[Johannes Vermeer, The Milkmaid” 1657, seen at the @rijksmuseum]

insecurity corrodes;
outward-facing cage.

"Yet who, even in the thundering strains of #Homer, shall sing the marble meadows gathered upon the mighty walls and spreading pavement of the lofty church? Mining [tools of] toothed steel have cut these from the green flanks of Carystus and have cleft the speckled Phrygian stone, sometimes rosy mixed with white, sometimes gleaming with purple and silver flowers." #Byzantine #ArtHistory #ekphrasis #HagiaSophia 2/3

Hello fellow mastodonians. I'm an art historian teaching at a small liberal arts college. My interests include #ancient #greek #roman #Byzantine and #islamic #art. My research focuses on text and image relationships in #byzantium, including #ekphrasis, #epigrams, and #epigraphy. I'm working on a book on middle Byzantine #relics and #reliquaries through the lens of #inscriptions. #introduction #arthistory

@AndrewPDay Great picture. It made me write a poem called, of course, #Mosstodon

I kept going back to one, drawn by its shape & fooled myself into writing a poem by pretending to write prose. Today I think it’s a poem! #poetry #amwriting #ekphrasis
