View From Cookham Bridge - Sir Stanley Spencer
One of the glories of twentieth century British art. Don't you want to be standing on that bridge in the pale sunlight, smelling the water?

The Song of the Skylark
How about some "profuse strains of unpremeditated art"? More larking around below!
The Lark Ascending - Ralph Vaughan Williams
Summer is here! Beauty and Joy! Be grumpy no more! This music breathes resurrection: sorrow filled with the promise of ecstasy!
Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
- P. B. Shelley: To a Skylark
