white relief


Sometimes I'd had it up to here with gold ornateness,
& my eyes would rest on white walls, or dappled shadows.
One day I happened on a small temple with mostly white
stucco decoration, fine work too, it was lovely.
Then I could welcome some more exuberant if not totally
over the top swirls upon swirls of gold & primary colours.
The variations on a theme are truly amazing.

If I did this before, watch it again, producing a book by hand,
don't you love it?
