“About suffering they were never wrong, The Old Masters… In Brueghel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster… the forsaken cry… white legs disappearing into the green Water…” rabbitroompoetry.substack.com/p/musee-des-...

Brueghel’s Icarus: a ploughman, shepherd and ship glide mildly by in a lush pastoral scene as the miraculous boy’s fall from the sky goes unnoticed, and his legs slide, unobserved, into the sea. Title: W.H. Auden, Musee Des Beaux Arts
