I particularly enjoyed this piece and will now savour every yellow marble column, floor etc I come across in Rome.

Agnes love your “idle contemplations”, wherever you are in the Roman world. You see so many wonderful stories wherever your look.

Really interesting, Agnes! I’ve seen the yellow stone all over Rome but had no idea where it came from. (And I too love that painting - which makes me think of the Auden poem “Musée des Beaux Arts.)

Thanks, that's a super poem (and it's an amazing museum)
