It is not merely their savor that appeals to him; it is their mass and rhythm. The concentric ovals of their yolks and whites, the fecund chromes bewitched to a dark gold, haunt his dreams with the memory of a beauty marvelous and fugitive. To satisfy the demands of that memory, he painted them, the fried eggs of his dream, in a form as compact as a concerto?a form that leaves upon the mind...
