Description
Melancholy in a boat among water lilies, a planet and a comet as her only listeners — must every nostalgia have a lake? In a blue boat moored on a lily-strewn pond sits a woman in a plain green dress, her head resting on her knees; behind her looms an enormous pale-green full moon, beside it a small blue planet and a comet's streak; the day brightens in a band of reeds beyond the pond.
