A Morning at the Met

Today I saw Greek vases And a room by Frank Lloyd Wright, Lots of paintings by impressionists, Which always bring delight… Fancy furnishings and jewelry, Some sculptures and stained glass, Ancient pottery and artifacts Of silver, gold and brass… Even samples of old baseball cards, A true collector’s dream, Plus the handiwork of Native tribes, All worthy of esteem. As I wandered through the galleries With so much on display, I felt grateful for the chance to fold This art into my day.

Ilene, I'm envious of your visit as I live in southern Louisiana and nothing like "The Met" is nearby. I am uplifted, however, by your descriptions of the beauty and variety of art during your "Morning at the Met." Touche' again!

Good It sounds like the 'Met' did not succumb to the trend that places 'warnings' next to the art that 'X' artist was a 'white man of privilege' or a 'conquistador' or some other such irrelevancy! ~ Gershon
