"It will only make her more like the moon, bright-faced and still unfathomable."
The armor is on the floor, the gown conceals nothing, and still she is the least exposed figure in the room. That final turn toward the moon leaves her luminous, watched, and entirely beyond possession.
I love, love, love ekphrastic poetry! Here’s a link to the painting that inspired the poem: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Minerva_dressing_by_Lavinia_Fontana_(1613).jpg
Lovely!
A complete and dazzling picture painted by the poet.
Breathtaking.
Gorgeous imagery.
