oh,
the Artist stood
only he
in silhouette
daubing;
his Admirers reclined
or leant
and all was silent
save a creak
and a lap of flame
and the
incandescent crystal
of light
around the floor-to-ceiling
window
the sounds of light downloaded from Petworth: the Artist and his Admirers (the old library), c. 1830 by William Turner; when light enters through windows it turns to music if there is an alert-enough artist to express it and an audience-enough to hear
