begging

bathwater in pitch black
buried completely silence
carpets of duckling softness
impossible velvet windows
lamps dimming, glad to arrive

Edward Hopper, Hotel Room, 1931. I was grateful to be reminded in new ways of hotel rooms and cities, the ways that other people have related to hotel rooms and cities. It's been the thing I've thought about most for a long time, hotels, cities. "I want to find the city that will make me into the most interesting person possible". There is so much more to talk about... This painting lives in Madrid.
