- In Vermeer's Lady Reading at an Open Window, she writes: "She hangs in Dresden / Perhaps she is a sibyl reading of the firebombing / three hundred years hence, of the light / that caused flashcars, flashparks, flashpeople / to run burning through that German city. We read / into the event our own pain and destruction even when / it does not fit the calmness of the figure by the window.".
