Di pomeriggio uno scroscio di pioggia
fece profumare anche l’erba pesta
e la sera, piena di primaverile malinconia,
lenta s’univa alla notte.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | Tête de jeune fille coiffée d'un chapeau de jardin, 1895
"I have taken up again, never to abandon it, my old style, soft and light of touch", Renoir wrote to his dealer Durand-Ruel in 1888, full of enthusiasm for his latest efforts.
"This is to give you some idea of my new and final manner of painting - like Fragonard, but not so good" (quoted in J. House, Renoir in the Barnes Foundation, New Haven, 2012, p. 121).
Renoir's new approach represented a sea-change after the controversial Ingres-inspired method he cultivated in the previous decade.

Konstantinos Kavafis | Candele / Candles / Κεριά
Stanno i giorni futuri innanzi a noi
come una fila di candele accese
dorate, calde e vivide.
Restano indietro i giorni del passato,
penosa riga di candele spente:
le più vicine danno fumo ancora,
fredde, disfatte, e storte.
