of Constable and clouds...



"I have done a good deal of skying"...Constable wrote to Fisher on 23rd october 1821.
I have too."Skying" i mean.Clouds:I have always had a peculiar fascination for them....they make the sky more than just a blue overturned bowl...they make the sky alive.I don't want to know whether they are cumulonimbus or cirrus...I just know that they spark off thought.And invite peace.
Dahl says there are cloud-men there....maybe there are,maybe they have vanished with 'growing up'.But clouds are still here.Like a veil screening the real from the magical.And constantly changing.

What's really awesome is watching clouds rush across the sky. Really beautiful.
