Venice: April 4, 2015

Fever Dream 2012





There never was such an amusing and beautiful place. . . . We have a room here right at the top just at the side of the Grand Canal: beneath all the gondolas are moored, and the gondoliers make such a noise I cannot think coherently.  It was the strangest dream to step out into our gondola after those two days of rain.

Letter to Violet Dickinson, 
Grand Hotel, Venice
