One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

Ekphrastic. Bronzino portrait in James’ The Wings of the Dove. “…splendid as she is, one doubts if she was good.”

1540 Bronzino of Lucrezia Panciatichi

James:
The lady in question, at all events, with her slightly Michelangelesque squareness, her eyes of other days, her full lips, her long neck, her recorded jewels, her brocaded and wasted reds, was a very great dead, dead, dead. Milly recognised her exactly in words that had nothing to do with her. "I shall never be better than this."
He smiled for her at the portrait. "Than she? You'd scarce need to be better, for surely that's well enough.
But you are, one feels, as it happens, better; because, splendid as she is, one doubts if she was good."

Madonna of the Goldfinch 1505 Raphael. Uffizi Florence

Madonna and Child with the Young St. John the Baptist
"Madonna of the Goldfinch"
C. 1505 - 1506
Oil on wood panel
Inv. 1890 no. 1447
The red plumage of the goldfinch in the young St. John the Baptist's hands alludes to the blood and sacrifice of Christ's Passion. The picture was painted in 1505 to celebrate the marriage of Florentine merchant Lorenzo Nasi, one of several patrons vying for the artists of greatest renown at the time of Pier Soderini's Florentine Republic (1502-12). One of Raphael's best loved works, the painting was hung in the Tribune in 1704 after the Medici

The James family would have loved Dungeons & Dragons. Labyrinths & abysses in Henry’s The Wings of the Dove

Susie had an intense thought and then an effusion.
"My dear child, we move in a labyrinth."
"Of course we do. That's just the fun of it!" said Milly with a strange gaiety. Then she added: "Don't tell me that—in this for instance-there are not abysses. I want abysses."

Princesses on the plane of mere elegant representation. The Wings of the Dove, Henry James (refs counting the prosody as #poetrysunday)… note: wandering, for the most part, mere 🔥 🔥 🔥

Milly & Kate!!!

which Milly was the wandering princess: so what could be more in harmony now than to see the princess waited upon at the city gate by the worthiest maiden, the chosen daughter of the burgesses? It was the real again, evidently, the amusement of the meeting for the princess too; princesses living for the most part, in such an appeased way, on the plane of mere elegant representation.
