vedute di venezia

“Memory’s images, once they are fixed in words, are erased,” Polo said. “Perhaps I am afraid of losing Venice all at once, if I speak of  it.”

— a fragment of a conversation between Marco Polo
and Kublai Khan, from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Maybe some day I will know the names of all the palazzi on the canals of this ephemeral place, this mythic city, somehow floating in time and space.  For now I can only imagine and dream about lives lived on this watery firmament as I observe and wander.
