place
San Giorgio Maggiore
The Palladian island-church across the basin from the Piazzetta in Venice; in 'Venezianischer Morgen' the city 'lifts' it and smiles into it like a jewel.
Reading notes
- New Poems: The Other Part §57 San Giorgio Maggiore
The island-church across the water, which Venice 'lifts' and smiles into 'like a beautiful thing,' as a woman lifts an earring or a mirror.
