Talleyrand and Bonaparte had one--and only one commonality--but on that commonality their mutual universe was defined. Diana's arrow, the obelisk, the clock and its tower, the dome and flag--an interesting escalation that you exploit masterfully with the slight divergence from symmetric and boring frontality. It is surely strictly my own pedantry that would also like to mention chimneys and mansard (must be the cold) but, after Cicero, not even a whisper. Again you take a commonplace and develop it subtly and originally. These images are much too sublime to be wasted on postcards except perhaps by a Duchamp. In which case they are not wasted at all. Kazantzakis has an interesting memoir somewhere about a winter of his in Paris.
