Claude Monet: "Le Parlement, coucher de soleil" (1904), Musée d'Orsay
This melancholy London - I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.

Y.B. Yeats
Monet: "La Tamiseet le Parlement" ("The Thames below Westminster") (1871), National Gallery, London
Unreal City,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.
Monet: "Green park, London" (1870-1871), Philadelphia Museum of Art
