The Collection
VENUS TO ROME SPRING SUMMER 2020.
“You contain, ebony sea, a dazzling dream
Of sails, of rowers, of flames and masts:
A noisy port where my soul can drink
Torrents of perfume, sound and colour;
Where ships, gliding on gold and silk,
Open their arms wide to embrace the glory
Of a clear sky throbbing with eternal heat.”
Fragment of the poem “La Chevelure” by Charles Baudelaire,
poem number 23 of The Flowers of Evil (1861 edition).
