If they decide to get married, it should go on page 1 of their wedding album...

The painter returns again and again to the sea for inspiration, emphasizing the changeableness of the sea as a metaphor for his art: “My soul, when I paint this next portrait / Let it be you who wrecks the canvas.” But in the end it is the process of “coming back” to the original germ of inspiration, of perpetual growth and regeneration, that is Ashbery’s true artistic journey...
