"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

    Sono felice che Waterhouse riscuota sempre i vostri consensi: ho postato l’immagine più che altro per celebrare un momento di vita quotidiana (vedi categoria del post), ma adoro il modo in cui Waterhouse ha reso i capelli della driade, che si staccano dall’albero, il suo passo mentre esce dal cavo del tronco, il suo sguardo verso il basso sul satiro che sta suonando, uno sguardo a metà tra il sorpreso e il compiaciuto, ma sempre con una delicata noncuranza di fondo. Meraviglioso.
