À Tout Coup! C'est La Loi!

Sunlight through the steam rising off a mug of coffee.

I recently finished, as one does, my annual perusal of "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire." I am sorry to report that it continues to feel like it was written at the limit approaching yesterday.

I used this dead Impossible Project shot as a bookmark.

I addition to the larger thematic connections, the image reminds me of this quoted passage:

The breakers, tumbling the images of the heavens,
Blended, in a solemn and mystical way,
The all-powerful chords of their rich music
With the colors of the sunset reflected in my eyes.

There is where I lived.
