A single rose, a gorgeous sunset, the intricate design of what had previously been an “ugly” insect—I cannot guess what she saw, but she saw. And in excitement and rapture, she cried out to her mate (whatever form of “marriage” they had in those days) “Oh, look at this, look!” and he looked and he saw. And beauty was created in a world that had been flat and dead and meaningless until that moment.

Thought:

“Looking at the paintings of the artists I love — such as Bosch or Vermeer — has had an influence on the way I see the world and so on the way I write. Often I want a kind of Vermeer light — that transcendency — and a Boschian “noise.” That savagery. That clarity. That delicacy.”
