Ode to Johannes Vermeer
Vermeer's painting The Milkmaid


Ode to Johannes Vermeer

Vermeer leaves the great and grand occasion
to the Rembrandts and van Eycks,
draws the light from rain-washed skies,
through the lambent gable window,
to illumine interior scene,
humble serving woman, face aglow,
still, silent, innocence reborn
in the eternal beauty of everyday.
