The Moving Moon
 |
| From The Rime of the Acient Mariner By Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) |
The moving
Moon went
up the sky.
And nowhere
did abide;
Softly she
was going up,
And a star or
two beside...
Uffizi or Bust
One of my favorite paintings is the Nascita di Venere, otherwise known as The Birth of Venus. It was painted by Italian renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, c. 1486 and a simple photograph does not do it justice.
In 2007, I was lucky enough to visit the Uffizi Gallery in Florence which houses hundreds of breathtaking paintings and sculptures, including The Birth of Venus. I love art history and it is currently my mission to make it back there one day. I would love for my daughter to experience Italy the way I was able to.
